At the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2024 Annual Meeting in Chicago, GE HealthCare (Nasdaq: GEHC) introduced three new advanced deep learning image processing and reconstruction solutions as part of its Effortless Recon DL portfolio. Designed to address the need for enhanced operational efficiency in radiology departments and combat clinician burnout, these technologies aim to deliver exceptional image quality, reduce scan times, and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
GE HealthCare showcased its new deep learning-based imaging solutions at the RSNA 2024 Annual Meeting, unveiling three innovations in its Effortless Recon DL portfolio. Designed to enhance clinical image quality and improve operational efficiency, these AI-powered technologies aim to tackle challenges in radiology, including clinician burnout, while improving patient care. The solutions help deliver clearer images, reduce scan times, and streamline workflows, ultimately supporting faster diagnoses and better patient outcomes.
“Blurry images can hinder clinicians’ ability to diagnose quickly and confidently,” said Roland Rott, President and CEO of Imaging at GE HealthCare. “Our deep learning-powered image reconstruction solutions improve image quality, enhance workflows, and help radiologists make more accurate diagnoses. By utilizing AI and deep learning, we aim to empower clinicians to improve outcomes and give patients faster access to care.”
Addressing critical needs across healthcare, especially for conditions like neurological diseases, cancer, and cardiovascular issues, the new Effortless Recon DL solutions support early diagnosis and treatment, vital in managing these growing global health concerns. With increasing incidences of chronic diseases, especially in aging populations, the need for high-quality imaging is more pressing than ever.
Radiologists, who often experience burnout due to high workloads, will benefit from these advanced imaging tools. A survey revealed that over half of radiology professionals report emotional exhaustion, highlighting the importance of technologies that improve efficiency and reduce strain.
Key Effortless Recon DL Solutions:
- Sonic DL for 3D: This deep learning solution reduces MRI scan times by up to 86%, improving resolution for brain, spine, orthopedic, and body imaging while maintaining fast scan speeds.
- Clarify DL: A nuclear medicine solution for enhancing bone SPECT image quality, improving diagnostic confidence. It has shown improved image resolution in 98% of exams.
- TrueFidelity DL: A cardiac CT solution delivering excellent image detail at low doses, offering sharp visuals and improved texture for accurate reporting.
These solutions leverage dedicated Deep Neural Networks (DNN) for advanced image reconstruction, improving image quality across various clinical specialties. The expanded Effortless Recon DL portfolio, which includes tools like True Enhance DL and Precision DL, ensures superior image clarity, even with low-dose imaging, and enhances diagnostic confidence.
GE HealthCare’s Effortless Recon DL technologies represent a leap forward in imaging, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and clinician productivity while reducing scan times and improving patient care.
