What You Should Know:

– GE HealthCare, in collaboration with NVIDIA, has taken a significant leap forward in the field of medical imaging with the development of SonoSAMTrack. This innovative research model leverages the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline and enhance ultrasound diagnostics.

– The collaboration between GE HealthCare and NVIDIA paves the way for a future of faster, more accurate ultrasound diagnostics.

Transforming Traditional Methods: Foundation AI for Streamlined Development

SonoSAM Track leverages foundational AI, a revolutionary approach that empowers faster development and broader application of AI in healthcare.  Traditional methods often require extensive retraining of models for specific patient populations and hospital settings. This not only increases costs and complexity but also hinders the widespread adoption of AI in healthcare.

SonoSAM Track: Efficiency and Accuracy for Improved Patient Care

SonoSAM Track tackles this challenge head-on. By utilizing a versatile, generalist foundation model called SonoSAM, it adapts efficiently to new tasks and medical imaging modalities. This translates to faster development cycles and the ability to handle a wider range of conditions with minimal training data – a significant advantage in healthcare, where data acquisition can be time-consuming and expensive.

SonoSAM Track in Action: Delivering Superior Performance

GE HealthCare’s research demonstrates the power of SonoSAM Track. In a recent study, the model showcased exceptional performance across diverse ultrasound datasets encompassing various anatomies (adult hearts, fetal heads), pathologies (breast lesions, musculoskeletal issues), and scanning devices. Notably, it surpassed competing methods by a substantial margin. Additionally, SonoSAM Track boasts impressive speed and efficiency, requiring only 2-6 clicks for accurate segmentation, minimizing user input and streamlining workflow.

SonoSAM Track signifies a major leap forward in AI-powered medical imaging, holding immense potential to enhance patient care, improve workflow efficiency for healthcare professionals, and ultimately, set new standards in healthcare.

“GE HealthCare is committed to investing in innovative technologies that help tackle some of the industry’s biggest challenges.  Our vision is to accelerate advancements in medical imaging by introducing foundational AI technologies, thereby empowering data scientists to expedite AI application development and eventually help clinicians and enhance patient care. By utilizing these versatile, generalist models, we aim to adapt more efficiently to new tasks and medical imaging modalities, often requiring far less labeled data compared to the traditional model retraining approach. This is particularly significant in the healthcare domain, for which data is especially time-consuming and costly to obtain,” said Parminder Bhatia, Chief AI Officer, GE HealthCare.
