GE HealthCare Receives FDA Clearance of a New Deep Learning Solution for Enhanced Image Quality in PET/CT, Advancing its Leadership Position in AI

Precision DL provides the image quality performance benefits typically associated with hardware-based Time-of-Flight (ToF) reconstruction, including improved contrast-to-noise ratio[i], contrast recoveryi, and quantitative accuracy[ii]. Together, the availability of Precision DL with Omni Legend’s ultra-high sensitivity, third generation digital detector technology marks a new era for PET/CT performance and outcomes, transitioning from ToF technology to the next generation of PET/CT performance and enabling clinicians to decode coincidence events at exceptionally fine resolutions for informed diagnoses and treatment planning. Additionally, Omni Legend offers a streamlined, simple solution that helps enable technologists to increase efficiency, enhance patient care, and reduce potential radiation exposure to medical staff vii.” Medical imaging is a crucial tool for diagnosing disease, identifying a course of treatment, and determining whether therapy is successful for millions of patients around the world. In doing so, deep learning is a significant leap forward in efficacy compared to previous processes that require more human intervention, handling complex models and vast numbers of parameters with ease to help provide clinicians the time and insights they need to more confidently diagnose and care for patients. GE HealthCare’s deep-learning-enabled software is revolutionizing image acquisition and reconstruction in MR, CT, X-ray and now PET/CT, empowering clinicians and helping improve patient outcomes.
