Philips C8-4v Cardiac Ultrasound Transducer Curved Array

Philips iU22 xMATRIX C8-4v Curved Array Transducer is a broadband curved ultrasound probe designed for cardiac imaging on Philips ultrasound systems, including the iU22 with xMATRIX technology. Operating in a 4–8 MHz range, it provides the imaging depth and resolution needed for standard transthoracic cardiac studies. The curved array features an 11 mm radius of curvature and a 135-degree field of view, enabling wide-angle visualization of cardiac chambers, valves, and great vessels from the typical imaging windows, while maintaining a compact footprint for patient comfort. As part of the C8-4v family, this transducer is intended for use with Philips platforms that support curved-array probes, delivering reliable, consistent image quality when paired with the system’s processing and imaging modes. The 4–8 MHz bandwidth offers a balance between penetration for deeper structures and detail for near-field anatomy, supporting routine echocardiography workflows on Philips cardiac imaging consoles. This model represents Philips’ curved-array solution for cardiovascular assessments, and it is designed to integrate with standard Philips transducer interfaces on compatible systems for efficient clinical use.
