Elevate Plus brings its advanced technology suite and capabilities to the company’s flagship EPIQ Elite and Affiniti ultrasound systems. It holds CE mark and 510(k) clearance to help standardize routine exams and reduce the need for repeat scanning. This helps to deliver more consistent, high-quality ultrasound images faster across users.
Amsterdam-based Philips originally unveiled its Elevate software in February 2025.
Features of the platform include AI-powered workflow enhancements for consistent ultrasound care. Auto Measure Abdomen uses AI to help automate routine measurement steps, reducing variability and saving time.
Meanwhile, Koios AI decision support, previously available off-cart, is now available on-cart for EPIQ Elite and Affiniti systems. This helps clinicians classify breast lesions and thyroid nodules, Philips says, while its ultrasound integrates with Koios Bi-RADS, offering interpretation and assessment of risk of malignancy in under two seconds.
Philips also said new imaging enhancements deliver easier visualization for anatomy and flow. Its XRes Pro+ offers cleaner tissue detail and sharper boundaries for more consistent imaging across body times. Super Res MVI Pro, meanwhile, enhances microvascular flow visualization to enable greater clarity around blood flow.
Commentary from Philips officials and clinicians
Jie Xue, chief business leader, Precision Diagnosis, Philips, said:
“Elevate Plus underscores our commitment to advancing AI-powered ultrasound to help clinicians deliver more consistent, efficient, and confident ultrasound care to patients. By combining intelligent imaging with AI-powered workflow automation across our ultrasound platform, Elevate Plus is designed to reduce variability, streamline routine exams, and support faster, more informed clinical decisions as care teams face growing demand.”
Gretchen Sammy, ultrasound manager, Boston Medical Center, said:
“Elevate Plus is a game‑changer for our ultrasound workflow. Automating key measurement tasks allows our sonographers to reduce scanning time by up to 30% without sacrificing clinical precision. During our evaluation, measurements were consistently placed exactly where we would expect them—saving time while maintaining the accuracy we rely on.”
Maria Cristina Chammas, director of ultrasound at Hospital das Clínicas, School of Medicine, University of São Paulo (Brazil), said:
“By automating key measurement tasks with AI, Elevate Plus has the potential to significantly reduce scanning time while maintaining clinical accuracy. This can help improve workflow efficiency and reduce the repetitive manual steps that contribute to sonographer fatigue, while supporting more consistent results across our team.”
