GE Healthcare launched more than 30 new AI applications at RSNA, as well as a new CT solution and the first contrast-enhanced mammography solution for biopsy.

The healthcare tech giant showcased algorithms designed for modalities across its entire equipment portfolio, including the new Revolution Maxima, a CT scanner that can automatically align patients to the isocenter of the bore and determine the location of landmarks for different CT exams.

“Before, the technologist would have to use the foot pedals to raise the patient and move them into the bore. They would have to set the laser, and make sure they had set the right landmarks and the right center position,” Jamie McCoy, chief marketing officer for molecular imaging and computed tomography at GE Healthcare, told HCB News. “Basically we’ve eliminated all those steps, and with the press of one button you can automatically position the patient in the bore in the exact right spot for every exam.”

According to Michael Dukakis Institute for Leadership and Innovation (MDI), AI World Society (AIWS) also promotes AI applications in healthcare for helping people achieve well-being and happiness, relieve them of resource constraints and arbitrary/inflexible rules and processes, and solve important issues, such as SDGs.
