The Affiniti 70 is positioned just above the Affiniti 50 in price and includes Shearwave elastography, single crystal probes, and an articulated monitor arm. The monitor, touchscreen and keyboard are identical to the Epiq line of systems. The Affiniti 50 was designed from the Epiq series and looks very similar to them, being only smaller in the size of the lower body of the ultrasound machine. The Affiniti 50 improves upon the HD11xe with a 21.5” monitor compared to 17”, a touchscreen for navigation, improved processor speed and more transducers. The Philips Affiniti 50 was launched in 2014 as the successor to the immensely popular HD11xe. How the Affiniti 50 compares with other Philips systems For cardiac scanning the S4-2 sector probe is the most commonly selected. The L12-4 is the most popular linear on the Affiniti 50 because it is affordable, and strong in both vascular and MSK imaging. The C6-2 is the most popular convex probe for the Affiniti 50 while the C9-4v is the most popular endovaginal. The popular probes for the Affiniti 50 are several thousand dollars less expensive than the popular single crystal probes of the Affiniti 70. Another specialty transducer is the L15-7io intraoperative linear, also known as a “hockey stick” probe for it’s distinctive shape that allows it to fit into tight surgical applications or small parts scanning. The Philips Affiniti 50 also has the BP10-5ec biplane endocavitary probe that allows scanning in 2 planes without moving the transducer. The Affiniti 70, Epiq line and the CX50 however can use the full xPlane and 4D functions of the X7-2t. The X7-2t is an xMatrix transducer but on the Affiniti 50 it only functions in 2D mode. The Affiniti 50 also supports two transesophegeal or TEE probes, the S7-3t pediatric and the X7-2t adult. The Affiniti 50 has three mechanical 4D probes including the V6-2 4D convex, the 3D9-3v 4D endocavitary and the VL13-5 4D linear probe. The set of available probes is almost identical to the Affiniti 70 with the lack of single crystal transducers being the main difference. The Philips Affiniti 50 supports a number of advanced transducer options despite being in the midrange price category.
