GE HealthCare (Nasdaq: GEHC) today announced its latest
innovation in ultrasound with the launch of its next-level LOGIQ
ultrasound portfolio—including the new LOGIQ Totus—highlighting the
company’s progress in advancing precision care. LOGIQ, is a trusted
companion in general ultrasound imaging and has supported
clinicians in delivering high-quality, patient-driven innovation
for more than 30 years. The elevated LOGIQ portfolio innovative new
features and advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools are
designed to address the evolving needs of healthcare providers with
easy imaging, efficient workflow and Verisound digital and AI
solutions including reporting, fleet management, AI and
collaboration tools.
There is an increasing global shortage of radiologists, with an
estimated 13 radiologists per 100,000 population in Europe and
projections of shortages in specialties—including radiology—to
range from 10,300 to 35,600 physicians by 2034 in the United
States.1,2 These shortages are fueling clinician challenges due to
increased demand, leading to higher rates of burnout.
“At GE HealthCare, we’re focused on driving innovation that
enables precision care, and the enhanced LOGIQ portfolio allows us
to deliver on this promise with products and solutions that help
clinicians optimize care with ease and efficiency,” said Jyoti
Gera, General Manager, General Imaging and Primary Care, Ultrasound
at GE HealthCare. “The comprehensive portfolio of advanced
solutions within the LOGIQ portfolio enhances clinical confidence
with its proven features and AI tools to ensure next-level,
patient-centered care for a broad spectrum of patients in a variety
of clinical settings, as well as address the most pressing
challenges and burdens faced by clinicians.”
To help meet these challenges, the LOGIQ E10 Series and LOGIQ
Fortis are now available with new AI-based workflow and
decision-support tools for diagnostic-quality imaging and clinical
decision making. The Vscan Air CL handheld ultrasound can also be
integrated with these ultrasound systems as a wireless dual-probe
with curved and linear transducers for added flexibility. The
comprehensive tools accessible with LOGIQ E10 Series and LOGIQ
Fortis maintain the ease of operation while providing greater
functionality and efficiency.
In addition, the new LOGIQ Totus joins the LOGIQ family as a
versatile ultrasound solution with an ergonomic-friendly design,
advanced imaging quality and comprehensive specialty tools for
improved workflow efficiency and diagnostic confidence. The new
ultrasound system is equipped with advanced transducers, including
the ability to integrate the handheld, wireless Vscan Air CL probe,
and functionality to help rapidly assess patient needs in a variety
of clinical scenarios. Additional features include AI-powered
decision support and voice control, with potential to increase
productivity and minimize complexities, allowing clinicians to
provide patients with the best possible care.
The addition of LOGIQ AppAPI for LOGIQ solutions extends the
capabilities of LOGIQ through innovative third-party applications
beyond Verisound digital offerings. With LOGIQ AppAPI, GE
HealthCare can collaborate with third parties on applications that
run directly on the LOGIQ system or use real-time streaming of
ultrasound data to run side-by-side with the LOGIQ system. This
innovative technology enables the use of LOGIQ ultrasound systems
with added benefits and tools.
PIUR IMAGING’s ‘PIUR tUS inside’ is one of the first integrated
LOGIQ AppAPI partners. The solution prepares clinicians with a tool
to precisely diagnose thyroid medical conditions by automatically
segmenting the thyroid, producing sagittal/transverse/coronal
views, building 3D rendering and measuring nodules and classifying,
according to the American College of Radiology (ACR) Thyroid
Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS) classification. This
feature is currently available in European markets that comply with
CE marking, with additional regulatory approvals pending.
“We’re at the forefront of accelerating care with
next-generation ultrasound solutions harnessing the strength of our
products and digital solutions for integrated next-level patient
care,” said Karley Yoder, General Manager, Point of Care Ultrasound
(POCUS) and Digital, and Chief Digital Officer, Ultrasound at GE
HealthCare. “The latest advances to the LOGIQ portfolio harness the
power of artificial intelligence and our handheld wireless
ultrasound probes to help make clinicians more efficient and
confident in delivering quality care.”
The LOGIQ E10 Series, LOGIQ Fortis and LOGIQ Totus are available
in key countries around the globe. GE HealthCare will demonstrate
the next-generation LOGIQ portfolio at the European Congress of
