The Philips CX50 launched in 2009 as the first Philips portable ultrasound and the most advanced portable ultrasound machine in the world. It continues to this day as the only truly premium portable ultrasound with support for both PureWave single crystal and xMatrix transducers, something no other portable ultrasound machine has as of 2016. The CX50 is a shared service ultrasound machine equally capable in radiology and OB/GYN as in cardiovascular applications. The only thing it will not do is 4D for OB/GYN applications. The Philips CX50 can offer 4D for Cardiac applications via the X7-2t xMatrix probe. The compact size of the CX50 means it fits well in surgical, emergency and point of care situations where room is tight and mobility important. All versions of the CX50 except the initial A.0 revision are very stable and reliable. If you are looking for the most powerful portable ultrasound machine with the best imaging and most advanced features then the Philips CX50 is what you're looking for.

Philips CX50 hardware revisions
The Philips CX50 was launched in 2009 as a high level, shared service, cardiac strong portable ultrasound machine. This first unit used A.0 revision hardware and ran Windows XP as the software platform. The next revision, with an upgrade to B.0 hardware, implemented a new more powerful ComEx motherboard that ran Windows 7. While the CX50 has changed little in its external aspects , the CX50's reliability and stability showed a marked increase with the introduction of its B Revision unit.Philips CX50 software revisions
As time progresses, Philips releases new software updates and with each new options are added. The latest version of the CX50 has added many powerful options such as Live 3D and Live xPlane, useable on the x7-2t TEE transducer. While it does not have as of yet a 4D transthoracic probe, the transesophageal probe does have the 4D cardiac capability.Revisions of the Philips CX50

The Philips CX50 has high definition/advanced transducers making this portable ultrasound machine a valid alternative for clinics using console based units but who want a portable in its stead. It is capable of using three single crystal PureWave transducers including the C5-1 convex, the C10-3v endovaginal, and the S5-1 adult cardiac probe. Single crystal transducers are able to significantly improve image quality even at deep penetration, something very important when scanning large patients. Single crystal transducers are rare on portable units, but the CX 50 shares its probes with the premium level units including the Affiniti and the Epiq ultrasound units. The Philips CX50 also can use the X7-2t xMatrix TEE probe which has excellent image quality and can image across multiple planes at once as well being able to image in 4D mode.Popular Philips CX50 Transducers
The amazing C5-1 PureWave convex and the S5-1 PureWave cardiac sector are the most popular transducers for the CX50 providing excellent imaging even on heavier patients. The [ 3 - 12 MHz ] L12-3 is the most popular linear for the CX50 as it offers the best blend of scanning possibilities and is the most affordable linear.Competitors
How the CX50 compares with other Philips systems
The Philips CX50 was launched in 2009 as the first Philips portable ultrasound machine. In late 2011 Philips also launched the CX30 as a lower priced portable that looked nearly identical on the outside but used less expensive transducers and had no access to PureWave or the X7-2t TEE. The CX30 was later discontinued in 2014. The Philips Visiq tablet portable was launched in 2014 at a much lower price point and feature set. The Philips CX50 remains the most advanced portable in the Philips lineup.Applications training for Philips CX50
