What You Should Know:
– GE Healthcare launches two innovative new products: the Vscan Air SL with Caption AI and ECG-less Cardiac CT scanning on the Revolution Apex platform at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress,
– Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, claiming millions of lives each year. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving patient outcomes and reducing mortality rates.
– GE Healthcare’s latest technologies aim to address this pressing global health challenge by providing clinicians with the tools they need to diagnose and treat cardiovascular disease more efficiently.
Vscan Air SL with Caption AI: A Game-Changer for Point-of-Care Ultrasound
The Vscan Air SL with Caption AI is a portable ultrasound system that incorporates artificial intelligence to provide real-time guidance and analysis. This innovative technology empowers healthcare professionals to capture high-quality cardiac images and make more accurate diagnoses, even in settings where ultrasound expertise may be limited.
Key features of the Vscan Air SL with Caption AI include:
- Real-time visual guidance: Step-by-step instructions help users optimize probe movements and capture the best possible images.
- AutoEF feature: Automatically calculates left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), a crucial measure of heart function.
- Improved accuracy: AI-powered analysis enhances the accuracy of cardiac assessments.
ECG-less Cardiac CT Scanning: A Breakthrough in Imaging Technology
GE Healthcare’s ECG-less Cardiac CT scanning solution represents a significant advancement in imaging technology. This innovative approach allows clinicians to acquire high-quality cardiac images without the need for an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. This is particularly valuable in situations where obtaining an ECG signal may be challenging or time-consuming.
The Revolution Apex Platform
ECG-less Cardiac CT scanning is exclusively available on the Revolution Apex Elite platform, GE Healthcare’s advanced CT solution. This system offers a range of features, including:
- High-definition imaging: Capture detailed images of the heart at any heart rate.
- Efficient workflow: Effortless Workflow automates the CT workflow, reducing time and effort for technologists.
- Scalability: The Revolution Apex platform is suitable for a wide range of clinical settings.
“With diseases of the heart and blood vessels representing nearly one-third of all global deaths, innovation within cardiac diagnostics and treatment is one of our top priorities as a healthcare company,” said Phil Rackliffe, president and CEO of Ultrasound and Image Guided Therapies, GE HealthCare. “The integration of Caption AI on Vscan Air SL is a major step toward helping more users confidently capture diagnostic-quality images to inform clinical decisions when time is of the essence. With the recent CE mark, we’re eager to bring this technology to more healthcare providers around the world.”
