Real solutions.
Real value.
The Vivid 7 delivers the real-time, 4D imaging that
you’ve always dreamed of. And it’s easier than
ever to use. Just the push of one button instantly
displays a live full volume image of the beating
heart. Finally, technology that was once reserved
for the research lab now helps you deliver better
patient care in a clinical setting.

Excellent 4D imaging is now available in an easy-to-use package

with faster results in fewer steps. Just one button and the full
volume image of the heart is displayed and ready for assessment.
With Vivid 7’s onboard 4D LV volume tool, your level of care
quickly improves through additional quantitative information of
both volume and ejection fraction – providing a higher accuracy
than standard 2D imaging.
Our creative multi-dimensional formats clearly convey cardiac
anatomy, synchronicity and viability. You get 4D images rendered
online that look like an actual heart. And, the new 4D visualization
tools offer you a new perspective on volume and dimension with
the assistance of Depth Color Rendering and Stereo glasses –
making it look real enough to touch.
Incredibly detailed. Remarkably life-like. Ask your GE sales
representative for a demonstration.
