- World’s first, patient-controlled
compression technology for mammography exams
- Showcasing latest CT and MRI
solutions to increase productivity
GE Healthcare is launching 25 new products, services and digital
solutions at RSNA 2016, 50 percent more than in 2015, as the
company focuses on helping the healthcare industry to improve
outcomes. The new innovations and partnerships are designed to
address some of the industry’s most pressing challenges and will
enable better patient experience, improved clinical confidence and
increased productivity.
For the first time ever, mammography exams can literally be in
the hand of the patient with a remote control that adjusts breast
compression. This innovative, self-compression feature1 for the new
Senographe PristinaTM enables the patient, with the help of
a technologist, to set the pressure that feels right for her,
helping to reduce discomfort and addressing one of the main
concerns women have for avoiding mammography screening.
“We’re committed to improving outcomes for our customers and the
industry. Senographe Pristina is a great example of how we are
investing in innovation to improve patient experience and,
therefore, reduce the possibility of skipped mammogram screenings,”
said John Flannery, president and CEO of GE Healthcare. “We’re
excited to launch a wide range of new products, digital and
software technologies aimed at improving performance, clinical
outcomes and productivity for hospitals and clinicians around the
world.”
When it comes to digital and software technologies, GE
Healthcare is committed to developing analytics that convert data
into insights and action.
To that end, GE Healthcare announces the general availability of
the Centricity Imaging Collaboration Suite, a suite of
applications that enables distributed care teams to view,
manipulate and share images beyond their department and beyond
their hospital’s walls. Built on the secure, scalable GE Health
Cloud, the solution helps distributed care teams collaborate on
patient cases, reduce CD handling costs and time spent preparing
for multi-disciplinary meetings, and decrease repeat imaging.
GE Healthcare is announcing several new features and
enhancements to Centricity Solutions for Enterprise Imaging.
Among the most notable updates is the development of Integrated
Relevant Clinical Content (IRCC) to Universal Viewer. IRCC delivers
relevant clinical information, including EMR and lab data,
radiology reports, patient history and pathology data directly to
the radiologist within the existing workflow. With an algorithm
that learns as radiologists provide input, physicians will be able
to more quickly reach a confident diagnosis based on a more
complete picture of the patient’s health.
Within the field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), GE
Healthcare is showcasing an entire line-up of systems built on the
SIGNATM platform and focused on improving productivity and
outcomes for clinicians. These systems are powered by
SIGNAWorks, a new platform intended to deliver enhanced
clinical excellence. GE Healthcare will showcase a range of
computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET)/CT
solutions, from unique clinical systems to software and imaging
programs, which enhance clinical support, including GSI Xtream
on Revolution CT2 and DiscoveryTM MI. GE
Healthcare is also featuring its latest mobile X-ray technology,
OptimaTM XR240amx3 with FlashPad HD digital
detectors, designed to increase flexibility and practicality to
conduct an X-ray in challenging clinical environments. In Surgery,
GE Healthcare is showing its latest C-arm technology, OEC
EliteTM MiniViewTM C-arm, designed to help remove
frustrations and distractions in the operating room. Additionally,
GE Healthcare is highlighting LOGIQTM E9 XDclearTM
2.0, an ultrasound system that delivers high-quality images
across a wide variety of cases: from the routine to the technically
challenging, including from head to toe, obese to thin, neonate to
geriatric patients.
