Description

The GE Vivid iQ is an expert-class portable ultrasound system purpose-built for high-fidelity cardiovascular diagnostics in mobile, space-constrained, and point-of-care environments. Designed for use in ICUs, cardiac clinics, operating rooms, emergency settings, outreach programs, and small diagnostic centers, it delivers imaging performance comparable to stationary premium platforms—without sacrificing portability or reliability.

Configurations
The Vivid iQ is available in three tailored configurations to match clinical needs and budget:
  • Vivid iQ (Standard): Optimized for routine transthoracic echocardiography (TTE)
  • Vivid iQ Premium: Enhanced with advanced quantitative tools for strain, chamber quantification, and hemodynamic assessment
  • Vivid iQ 4D: Adds real-time 3D/4D volumetric cardiac imaging for comprehensive structural and functional evaluation
