GE HealthCare Showcases More Than 40 Innovations, Including AI-Enabled Imaging Technology Solutions Designed for Precision Care at RSNA23

Booth (#7326) will highlight new product introductions, key innovations, and AI-enabled advancements from the company’s comprehensive portfolio of Imaging, Ultrasound, and digital solutions designed to optimize patient care and increase operational efficiencies


CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–GE HealthCare (Nasdaq: GEHC) will highlight more than 40 innovations, including several key artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled technologies within the Imaging, Ultrasound, and digital space at the Radiological Society of North America’s (RSNA) 2023 Annual Meeting taking place Nov. 26-30 in Chicago, IL. Each connected care solution is designed to better support clinicians, improve patient care, and increase health system efficiency at a time when healthcare system challenges include rising levels of radiologist burnout and shortages.

The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) projects a shortage of up to 41,900 radiologists in the United States in 2033i, while a 2022 survey of 13,000 U.S. physicians found that 49% of radiologists reported feeling burned out.ii Further exacerbating the situation is the coming “silver tsunami,” when by the year 2030, more than 1.4 billion of the world’s population is expected to be over 60 years oldiii, placing additional burden on overworked radiologists since nearly a third of all scans are performed on older adults.

“GE HealthCare works to address radiology workforce challenges by focusing on the root causes of burnout, innovating to better support clinicians and helping providers deliver care when and where people need it,” said Peter Arduini, CEO of GE HealthCare. “Through our smart devices, streamlined disease state focus, and digital solutions, we’re bringing data together in the right place at the right time for providers, solving for inefficiencies in workflow, enabling precision care, and helping improve patient outcomes. With a history of innovation spanning more than a century, our goal at GE HealthCare is to solve the healthcare challenges of today, tomorrow, and well into the future.”

Offering human–focused precision patient care across critical pathways

GE HealthCare innovations highlighted at the RSNA booth include technologies and solutions that are designed to seamlessly integrate along clinical care pathways, including oncology, cardiology, and neurology. By using GE HealthCare integrated technologies and diagnostics, clinicians deliver a more personal, precise, and human-focused approach across the care continuum.

Theranostics Pathway Manager Tile, on Command Center, aims to offer health care providers an easy-to-use application that is designed to simplify the burdensome work of coordinating the oncology care pathway and identifying and tracking potential theranostics candidates – work that historically has been manual and tedious. AIR Recon DL, which has scanned almost 16 million patients to dateiv, can help reduce scan time by up to 50% and provide exceptionally high image qualityv. SIGNA PET/MR AIRvi, which can also be utilized with AIR Recon DL, may be a useful tool to help clinicians with diagnosis, staging and monitoring of various diseases from cancer to neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s. The system also integrates technologies like AIR Coils to help enhance patient comfort and is equipped with Motion Free Brainvii to aid in mitigation of motion-related image distortion.

Advancing care through AI-enabled and deep learning innovations

GE HealthCare is dedicated to enhancing patient outcomes and is actively shaping the future of healthcare by advancing AI and deep learning, streamlining workflows, creating efficiencies, and leveraging strategic collaborations. For the second year in a row, GE HealthCare topped the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) list of AI-enabled medical devices with the most AI authorizations of any medtech company, with 58.

A number of these AI and deep learning solutions, including new solution introductions, will be demonstrated on various systems and devices throughout the booth:

“Health systems and providers are facing several core challenges in managing efficient workflows, including limited ability to adjust staffing, burnout among radiologists and technologists, and variations in imaging equipment across sites, resulting in inefficient processes as well as training burden,” said Jan Makela, president and CEO of Imaging at GE HealthCare. “We are uniquely positioned to help providers leverage imaging data across healthcare systems, connecting longitudinal data and layering it with analytics and AI to provide a full view into a patient’s journey, helping to solve diagnosis challenges and develop personalized approaches for better patient outcomes.”

GE HealthCare offers next-generation solutions for streamlining workflows and increasing efficiency, including the following innovations that will be showcased:

Leading up to RSNA 2023 and building on its commitment to collaboration, GE HealthCare also announced a number of new grants and strategic collaborations with health systems, academic and research institutions, and more:
