GE HealthCare has unveiled Sonic DL for 3D, the newest addition to its effortless imaging portfolio, designed to accelerate MRI scans across a wide range of clinical applications.
Sonic DL for 3D builds on GE HealthCare’s its success on AIR Recon DL, which has helped over 34 million patients to date. Now, GE HealthCare is extending Sonic DL to 3D volumetric imaging, designing it to broaden its applicability to brain, spine, orthopaedic and body exams, in addition to cardiac. This expansion is intended to retain the same impressive 12x acceleration and reduce scan times by up to 86%.
By combining Sonic DL’s speed with AIR Recon DL’s noise reduction technology, this Deep Learning integration is intended to empower clinicians to significantly cut scan times, enhance image resolution by up to 55% and enable faster, accurate diagnoses with greater ease.
In neurology, Sonic DL 3D is designed to enable high-resolution imaging of complex brain structures, allowing for quicker, clearer insights into neurological conditions. In orthopaedics, it will help to speed up the imaging of joints, ligaments and bones, reducing scan times to minimise patient discomfort, especially for those with mobility challenges. By advancing speed and clarity in these critical areas, Sonic DL 3D helps to enhance clinical workflows, improve patient comfort and support timely diagnoses.
Kelly Londy, President & CEO, Global MR, GE HealthCare, said: “Our Deep Learning, effortless imaging portfolio has already seen great success with AIR Recon DL and Sonic DL for cardiac. Now, with Sonic DL’s expansion to 3D and its ability to combine with AIR Recon DL, we’re offering a combination of speed, accuracy, and clarity. We believe Sonic DL will be a game-changer in key clinical areas, substantially impacting our customers’ ability to deliver high-quality care while enhancing the capabilities of their existing systems through seamless upgrades.”
