GE Healthcare empowers Europe’s radiologists with new innovations

by Val Jones, Director, Val Jones PR | March 04, 2015
GE Healthcare is introducing its latest innovations for medical imaging and healthcare IT under the theme “Advancing Healthcare… Together” at the 2015 European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, Austria. Across Europe, healthcare professionals are facing significant economic and demographic challenges. Aging populations, the rise in non-communicable diseases, new regulations on radiation dose and the need for greater productivity are impacting on healthcare professionals everywhere. GE Healthcare is continuing its mission to empower radiologists by introducing even more innovations, aimed at meeting the clinical, financial and regulatory needs for greater efficiency, speed, flexibility, improved image clarity, better connectivity and reduced radiation dose.

Jean-Michel Malbrancq, President & CEO, GE Healthcare Europe said, “GE has been committed to innovating for radiologists and their patients for more than 100 years. We’re delighted to be at ECR 2015, sharing a range of innovations all of which are designed to help solve the challenges faced by healthcare providers across Europe. Visitors to our booth will see that we’re focused on new technologies that are designed to help our customers make more confident diagnoses, improve patient safety and comfort, increase throughput and generate efficiencies.”

Highlights of GE’s new products introduced at ECR include:

Revolution* CT: Image even the most clinically challenging patient with confidence.
GE Healthcare’s Revolution CT is an ultra-fast CT scanner that allows clinicians to image the heart in just one heartbeat, freezing the heart’s motion and delivering high image quality. The wide coverage of Revolution CT allows clinicians to scan entire organs such as the brain, heart, liver and pancreas in a single 0.28 sec rotation, reducing breath hold times for patients. Continuing GE’s commitment to lowering radiation dose, the scanner is equipped with ASiR-V*, GE’s iterative reconstruction technology which routinely reduces dose by up to 82% without compromising image quality. Revolution CT is also 50% quieter than previous generation CTs, helping to increase comfort for the patient.

LOGIQ* P9: Quicker ultrasound examinations
The new LOGIQ P9, launched in Europe at ECR, is a mid-range ultrasound system made easy for clinicians to use due to its large monitor, customizable touchscreen and simplified console design. Clinicians will be able to complete an examination of a patient up to 32% more quickly1 than previous generation GE systems as they will touch, on average, 44% less buttons to complete an exam. The key to this productivity improvement is a time-saving feature called My Page which enables clinicians to save their user preferences and quickly access functions. The time savings help the clinician to spend more time on patient care. The LOGIQ P9 provides excellent image quality and is suitable for use in immediate triage or for comprehensive exams.
