GE Healthcare today announced U.S. FDA 510k clearance for its
Ultra Edition package on Vivid1 cardiovascular ultrasound systems,
which includes new features based on artificial intelligence (AI)
that enable clinicians to acquire faster, more repeatable exams
consistently.
Methodical assessments of heart function are key in
echocardiography but can be tedious and time-consuming to acquire.
High quality data acquisition and operator skill are key elements
to achieve accurate and complete exams. And, as patients undergo
subsequent monitoring exams, the reproducibility of exam
assessments is key to identifying improvement or disease
progression. Vivid Ultra Edition brings increased efficiencies to
the scanning process for reduced exam time through up to 80% fewer
clicks3, 99% accuracy4 and less inter-operator variability.2
“We use AI Auto Measure – 2D, AI Auto Measure – Spectrum
Recognition, and Auto AFI together with Auto EF. We also use Scan
Assist Pro, 4D biplane and 4D triplane. All of this in combination
has saved us 7 to 10 minutes per scan, which is fantastic, so we
really do have more time to spend with the patient,” said Rebecca
Perry, PhD, Cardiac Sonography Program Stream Coordinator,
University of South Australia, in a Vivid Talk webinar.
Vivid Ultra Edition features leverage AI-driven, neural
network-based algorithms designed to deliver repeatable and faster
measurements in 2D echo imaging:
- AI Auto Measure – Spectrum Recognition can
semi-automatically detect the appropriate measurement of spectral
Doppler images, enabling the system to fast-forward the path from
scanning to measurements with 98% accuracy and 100%
reproducibility.3
- AI Auto Measure – 2D can detect the relevant points in
the image used to derive key measurements of the left ventricle,
performing comparable to human users with 100%
reproducibility.3
- AI-based View Recognition can automatically detect with
99% accuracy and 100% reproducibility which standard 2D scan plane
is acquired and store this label in the image file. Our AFI package
is designed to use these data to automatically select views for
strain analysis, streamlining workflow and increasing
efficiency.4
“With the Vivid Ultra Edition, we offer AI capabilities that
help address healthcare providers’ two key challenges in echo exams
– how time consuming the exam is and the degree of variability that
exists in the quantitative results,” said Dagfinn Saetre, General
Manager of Cardiovascular Ultrasound at GE Healthcare. “This
package supports our vision of where we need to go with
cardiovascular ultrasound: tools to support less variability and
improved productivity. The Vivid Ultra Edition is a solid step in
our strategic roadmap.”
Vivid Ultra Edition also provides uncompromised image quality
and advanced visualization and navigation capabilities:
- HD Color displays anatomy and jet using shadowing,
reflections and transparency to enhance the 3D perception.
- FlexiLight offers photorealistic images to help improve
visualization of moving structures and depth perception of
tissues.
- 4D TTE Pediatric probe (6VDc) provides excellent 2D and
4D imaging for a range of pediatric patients from neonates to
teenagers.
