What You Should Know: 

– At GTC 2025, GE HealthCare and NVIDIA announced an expanded collaboration aimed at revolutionizing diagnostic imaging through autonomous technologies, beginning with X-ray and ultrasound. 

– The collaboration builds on a long-standing relationship between GE HealthCare and NVIDIA. A prime example of their synergy is the development of SonoSAMTrack, GE HealthCare’s pioneering research foundation model. Trained on approximately 200,000 image-mask pairs, SonoSAMTrack demonstrated a high degree of segmentation accuracy, showcasing the potential of AI in ultrasound imaging.

Reimagine Diagnostic Imaging with Autonomous X-Ray and Ultrasound Solutions  

The collaboration focuses on developing AI-enabled X-ray and ultrasound systems that can autonomously capture and analyze medical images, reducing the burden on technicians and radiologists. By leveraging NVIDIA’s expertise in accelerated computing and AI, and GE HealthCare’s leadership in medical solutions—evidenced by 85 FDA AI-enabled device authorizations—this partnership aims to deliver transformative solutions.

Leveraging NVIDIA Isaac for Healthcare:

GE HealthCare will utilize the new NVIDIA Isaac for Healthcare platform, built on NVIDIA’s advanced computing infrastructure, including NVIDIA Omniverse for robotic simulation. This platform, combined with NVIDIA Cosmos for synthetic data generation, will enable the training, testing, and tuning of autonomous ultrasound and X-ray devices in a virtual environment before real-world deployment.

Transforming X-ray Workflows

The initial focus will be on autonomous development within X-ray systems, utilizing the NVIDIA Isaac for Healthcare and Jetson platforms. GE HealthCare plans to employ synthetic data generation to simulate various scenarios, automating repetitive tasks performed by technologists. This automation aims to free up healthcare professionals to focus on direct patient care and complex cases. The companies will also explore machine-to-patient interactions to guide patients through the scan process autonomously.

Advancing Ultrasound Solutions:

Recognizing the escalating demands on sonographers and radiology technologists, GE HealthCare and NVIDIA will explore the development of autonomous ultrasound systems. These systems aim to streamline workflows, reduce physical strain from repetitive motions, and leverage AI for advanced image understanding and robotic navigation. With approximately 90% of sonographers reporting work-related musculoskeletal disorders and significant radiology technologist shortages, these advancements are crucial.

“GE HealthCare has a deep history of firsts in medical imaging, and we continue to build upon our legacy of innovation as a healthcare solutions provider,” said Roland Rott, president and CEO, Imaging at GE HealthCare. “We are excited about our expanded relationship with NVIDIA and the potential of autonomous X-ray and ultrasound as we are focused on unlocking smarter, more automated solutions that enhance efficiency, standardize imaging, and help ease the burden of increased volumes and double-digit staff shortages on healthcare professionals.”
