Across obstetrics and gynecology, clinicians care for women with diverse clinical needs, from routine gynecologic exams to early pregnancy assessments and more complex cases. Achieving the desired balance of penetration and image resolution may require switching between transducers, which can interrupt workflow and extend exam times.

Built specifically for gynecology and obstetrics imaging, the eV14-2v leverages PureWave crystal technology, first introduced by Philips, and features a lightweight ergonomic design that supports user comfort during exams. This gives clinicians detailed visualization of anatomy relevant to evaluating infertility and pelvic pain associated with conditions such as endometriosis and fibroids. Philips technology, including 2D and color resolution, supports the detection of fetal abnormalities, with the ability to delineate the cardiac chambers in a fetus as early as 13 weeks when the heart is the size of a single corn kernel [2].

“Reducing transducer changes during exams has a meaningful impact, not just on efficiency, but on the patient experience as well,” said Dr. Michael S. Ruma, MD, MPH, Perinatal Associates of New Mexico. “With the eV14-2v, we’re able to complete more exams with a single transducer while maintaining excellent image quality, which helps streamline our workflow and improve patient comfort.”

The eV14-2v transducer can be used with Philips Collaboration Live, supporting real-time remote consultation during ultrasound exams. Clinicians can view live imaging, provide guidance during exams, and consult with care teams without requiring patient travel. This approach can help expand access to specialty care in underserved communities while supporting more efficient care delivery.
