GE HealthCare (Nasdaq: GEHC) today announced the commercial launch of its advanced floor-mounted digital X-ray system.
The company designed Definium Pace Select ET to deliver high-image quality and optimize efficiency in highly demanding environments. Chicago-based GE HealthCare says it also enhances access and affordability.
According to the company, increased demand for X-ray, combined with acute staffing challenges, creates critical barriers to care. Definium Pace Select ET solves for these challenges, GE HealthCare says. It automates manual, repetitive steps and helping to reduce physical strain. The system leverages AI to ensure accurate patient positioning and consistent image quality across various clinical conditions.
Features include advanced automation and workflows in a flexible, floor-mounting system. It has an elevating table, in-room exam control and common user interface to assist technologists. It has image variability reduction through the AI-enabled Helix advanced image processing as well. Automated positioning, protocol selection, patient size and collimation allow for the prevention of errors before they occur.
“Burdened with the stress and pressure to keep radiology departments running smoothly and profitably, we aim to empower technologists with a system that consistently makes the first image count,” said Sharad Sharma, global GM, X-ray, at GE HealthCare. “With its advanced digital capabilities and automation, Definium Pace Select ET allows technologists of all experience levels to deliver consistent high-quality images to serve the full range of anatomies and patient populations.”
