The Philips CX50 is a portable shared service ultrasound machine, primarily used in radiology and OB/GYN practices for cardiovascular applications. Launched in 2009, it remains one of the few premium portable ultrasounds supporting xMatrix transducers and PureWave single crystal technology. The CX50 offers 4D imaging for cardiac applications with the X7-2t xMatrix probe, though not for OB/GYN. Its compact size makes it ideal for surgical, emergency, and point-of-care settings where space and mobility are crucial. Prices start at $38,900.
