Philips L17-5 Linear Array Ultrasound Probe for iU22 and iE33 Systems – Large Connector High-Frequency Linear Transducer

Product Overview

The Philips L17-5 is a premium high-frequency broadband linear array transducer designed for exceptional superficial imaging performance. Featuring an extended frequency range of 17–5 MHz, the probe delivers outstanding spatial resolution and tissue detail, making it ideal for vascular, breast, musculoskeletal, thyroid, small parts, and superficial imaging applications.

Designed for Philips premium ultrasound platforms utilizing the Large Connector architecture, the L17-5 combines ultra-fine pitch linear array technology with advanced imaging capabilities including Color Doppler, Color Power Angio, harmonic imaging, SonoCT compound imaging, XRES image enhancement, elastography, and steerable pulsed-wave Doppler. These technologies help improve lesion visualization, vessel delineation, tissue characterization, and diagnostic confidence.

The transducer is particularly well suited for high-resolution breast imaging, carotid artery examinations, peripheral vascular studies, musculoskeletal assessments, tendon evaluations, thyroid imaging, lymph node examinations, and other superficial structures where maximum image detail is required. Its 38 mm effective aperture and broadband technology provide excellent near-field imaging performance while maintaining sufficient penetration for deeper superficial structures.

Widely used in radiology departments, vascular laboratories, breast imaging centers, orthopedic clinics, and general ultrasound practices, the Philips L17-5 has become one of the most sought-after high-frequency linear probes in the Philips iU22 and iE33 ecosystem.
