Made for Your Point of Care
Made for MSK
Dr. Fernando Jiménez Díaz (Toledo – Spain) is a Sports Medicine specialist. He obtained his MD. PhD. in Medicine and Surgery from the University of Córdoba with a focus on the evaluation of the physiological response in military activities of simulated combat. Over the last 26 years, Dr Jimenez has worked with various sports groups as a medical advisor. These sporting groups include football (CD Toledo 1994-1997), professional cycling and 11 seasons in professional basketball (ACB League), as Head of Medical Services Of the Basketball Fuenlabrada. Dr. Jiménez was an early evaluator participant of the product.
Within this video, Dr. J. Fernando Jiménez Díaz shares his experience on using ultrasound in the Musculoskeletal field. He discusses how important ultrasound is for managing patient progress during a course of treatment. Within this video you will see some short ultrasound demonstrations, highlighting the importance of image quality and the impact this has to quickly assess tendons, muscles and joints.
The Venue Family has some new tools which benefit the MSK physician. Watch Dr. Jiménez discusses the benefits of the Venue Family Follow up tool and how this enables patient progress assessments over time, ensuring technical consistency from exam-to-exam. Venue View is another new tool which benefits the MSK physician. Venue view allows you to see the anatomy you need all in one view, up to 60cm in length, to help supports diagnostic confidence. This view is achieved by constructing a panoramic image from individual frames. Dr. Jiménez demonstrates how to use this tool and why it is important tool for his MSK ultrasound examination. Overall you will gain insights into why ultrasound and the tools within the Venue Family are beneficial in the MSK ultrasound examination.
We hope you enjoy.

Questions & Answers
How long does it take to obtain the EF with the new AI-tool?
The Venue Family offers a novel semi-automated Real- Time
EF tool. The EF may be obtained within 3 seconds of live scanning in A4CH view, when image
quality is sufficient as determined by the Quality Indicator.
What is Lung Sweep?
The Velocity Time Integral (VTI) measurement plays a
significant role in the management of critically ill patients. It allows the physician to
monitor hemodynamic changes resulting from a disease or from the therapy actions that were
required to achieve better patient outcome.1
What is the frequency of the L4-20t-RS?
L4-20t-RS XDclear™, is an ultra-wide band probe from
4-20MHz supports high-frequency imaging of superficial structures while also being able to
penetrate deeper anatomy without compromising imaging quality.
Is ECG needed for the Real Time EF tool to work?
No ECG is required for the tool to work.
What is the difference with the current EF automated tools?
The Venue Family Real-Time EF is an AI enabled tool that
continuously calculates Real-Time ejection fraction during live scanning in apical 4CH
view and allows users to capture instant, precise results.
What are the Easy & fast exam documentation?
Easy documentation features provide a visual overview of
the entire exam while reducing the need to manually type findings. Exams are stored as one
single image and users can easily switch between exams with one simple click. We have Lung
Diagram / eFAST and Renal Diagram.
How VTI is used for patient management?
- VTI trending can be used to assess response to therapy.
- Assessing the absolute values of VTI may be useful to estimate cardiac output, assessing the relative change of VTI in shock management may be practically more useful to assess the response to therapy and help in decision making process about the next therapeutic steps.
- If SV / VTI increases by 15% with fluid challenge fluid responsive may be considered.6
- If SV / VTI increases by 20% with inotropes contractile reserve may be considered.7
- Auto VTI can provide up to 90% reduction in keystrokes and take up to 82% less time than manual method calculations, as performed by experts. Based on GE Internal study with Venue Go DOC2254811.
- In one study, the IVC measures were equivalent to an expert user’s ability 87% of the time for minimal diameters and 92% for maximal diameters. Venue Go R2 Technical Product Claims Document DOC2199650.
- A recent study found the Auto B-lines tool to be comparable to and as highly reliable as visual counting performed by experts. ShortJ, Acebes C, Rodriguez-de-Lema G, et al. Visual versus automatic ultrasound scoring of lung B-lines: reliability and consistency between systems. Med Ultrasonography 2019, Vol 21 no1, 45049 DOI: 10.11152/mu-1885.
- Supporting evidence for Venue and Venue Go is documented in DOC2391130. Supporting evidence for Venue Fit is documented in DOC2454794.
