US-based health technology company GE HealthCare has partnered with DeepHealth, an AI-powered health informatics subsidiary of RadNet, to advance the integration of AI in medical imaging.
Under the partnership, the two companies will develop SmartTechnology solutions to address critical challenges across the imaging value chain.
The new SmartTechnologies will enhance image interpretation and reporting, simplify collaboration among care teams, and improve the clinical accuracy of image analysis.
They will combine GE HealthCare’s imaging expertise and scale, with RadNet’s deep experience in care delivery, and DeepHealth’s AI-powered health informatics portfolio.
The new SmartTechnologies will enhance patient care through improved clinical and operational workflows, said the health technology company.
GE HealthCare imaging president and CEO Roland Rott said: “GE HealthCare has a legacy of imaging and AI innovation and is committed to our continued pursuit of new technologies that push the boundaries of what is possible to enable precision care.
“This new collaboration with DeepHealth harnesses our combined strengths to address critical challenges in healthcare today.
“As we look to make more personalized, patient-centred breast care a reality – AI continues to show great promise in breast cancer screening from early detection and risk prediction to reduced callbacks and more efficient workflows for breast imaging providers.”
The partnership will initially focus on integrating DeepHealth’s AI-powered SmartMammo workflow with GE HealthCare’s patient-centric Senographe Pristina mammography system.
The integration aims to bring advanced AI-driven clinical imaging support to breast cancer screening, to enable early detection and improving outcomes.
GE HealthCare’s Senographe Pristina mammography system is designed to relieve anxiety the moment the patient enters the exam room.
It features an inviting gantry with elegant lighting and rounded shapes, along with a soft-curved surface that welcomes patients into a space of comfort and support.
RadNet’s DeepHealth SmartMammo is an AI-powered SaaS solution that easily integrates into existing breast cancer diagnostic workflows to enhance diagnostic accuracy.
SmartMammo includes a smart enterprise image viewer with PACS functionality, a suite of clinical AI detection tools, and is integrated with the radiologist worklist and reporting tools.
It is powered by the cloud-native architecture of the DeepHealth OS, which allows for easy feature updates and functionality enhancements without any downtime.
The two companies also plan to integrate Smart Alerts, a DeepHealth workflow solution, with Senographe Pristina to alert imaging sites of cases with potentially suspicious lesions.
Furthermore, GE Healthcare will distribute SmartMammo and other DeepHealth solutions to imaging providers in the US as part of its portfolio of imaging technologies.
RadNet digital health division president and CEO Kees Wesdorp said: “We are thrilled to collaborate with GE HealthCare to accelerate the adoption of AI-powered technologies in radiology.
“We are poised to revolutionise large-scale diagnostic and screening programs, streamline radiology workflows, and improve patient outcomes.
“This collaboration aims to empower healthcare providers with the tools they need to deliver more effective and personalised care at scale.”
