New dual-energy spectral imaging technology represents a new standard of visualization that helps address two main computed tomography (CT) clinical imaging challenges: material separation and artifact reduction.
GE Healthcare (Chalfont St. Giles, UK) presented the increased clinical adoption and emergence as a “must have” tool of its Gemstone spectral imaging (GSI) computed tomography (CT) application at the 2011 International Symposium on Multidetector Row CT, held in San Francisco, CA, USA, in June 2011.
GE Healthcare’s second release of GSI technology now includes refinements in image quality and usability. This second release is being provided to all current GE Discovery CT750 HD systems with GSI worldwide to help clinicians make well-informed, patient-focused decisions.
GE Healthcare recently unveiled two advanced cardiac-care solutions designed and developed in India for India with the aim to provide better, affordable early cardiac diagnosis. The GE MAC 600 and GE VIVID P3 devices were developed as part of GE’s healthymagination programme.
“When we launched healthymagination two years ago, our vision was to provide better health for more people at lower costs,” said John Dineen, President and CEO, GE Healthcare, as he unveiled the ultrasound systems for cardiac care at Bangalore. “Through the use of powerful technology, innovation and the talent of our people, we are addressing global healthcare needs: reducing costs, increasing access and improving quality in real and relevant ways. We are tremendously proud of our initial achievements: 29 healthymagination validated products, US$700 million in research and development investment and more than 135 million lives touched in new ways in the first two years.”
