[[Vivid E9: Your Heart in 4D] [Captures a 4D image of the heart in a single heartbeat]]

[[Leanne Dantea (??)] Hi, I'm Leanne Dantea (??),]

[and today we're looking at the Vivid E9,]

[our expert series built from the ground up for 4D imaging.]

[The E9 is a diagnostic imaging tool]

[that does cardiac ultrasound imaging,]

[and it helps the physician and the cardiac management team]

[help guide treatment for the patients with heart failure and different diseases.]

[So, basically we start off with a 4D image]

[that's already been acquired, and it's already been aligned.]

[We have what's called easy 4D views.]

[So, we basically take an image that's already been done,]

[and we can bring it up on the screen.]

[Once it's up on the screen, we have the ability to go to 9 Slice,]

[which allows the physician to see 9 equidistant slices,]

[we can go to Easy 4D which is 4D views.]

[If the physician wants to see the aortic valve,]

[you simply touch it, and it brings you to that structure.]

[You can do any of the views, apical long axis,]

[you can go back to mitral valve.]

[We have the ability to do all of these things ]

[to provide more information for that physician]

[again, providing a diagnostic tool for early health.]
