- Voluson Expert 22 represents a major step forward in ultrasound
innovation from a market leader in Women’s Health Ultrasound
- Next-generation architecture behind Voluson Expert 22 includes
Voluson graphic-based beam former technology; AI powered tools; and
customizable touch panel, color and lighting options
GE Healthcare today unveiled its most advanced ultrasound yet,
the next-generation Voluson™ Expert 22. This latest addition
to GE Healthcare’s award-winning Women’s Health portfolio utilizes
graphic-based beam former technology, which produces higher quality
images and offers greater flexibility in imaging functions.
Cutting-edge tools powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) ensure
greater consistency in exams and decreased number of tasks.
Customizable touch panels, color and lighting options provide for a
revolutionary user experience.
As pregnancies grow increasingly complex, clinicians are
demanding improvements in technology that allow for greater
confidence at the point of care. Shrinking workforces are straining
healthcare systems around the world, and without intensive training
to operate complex medical imaging technology, clinicians are
therefore demanding smart, intuitive systems that reduce the burden
on individual users.
The Voluson Expert 22’s Lyric Architecture unlocks new
imaging and processing power to achieve higher resolution, detailed
images—and increased independence from body habitus and other
difficult scanning conditions. The Lyric Architecture generates new
levels of penetration, resolution, and frame rates to reveal fine
anatomy in 2D/3D/4D with ease, and delivers uniformity throughout
the image with increased spatial and contrast resolution.
According to Prof. Dr. Rabih Chaoui, Managing Director at the
Center for Prenatal Diagnosis and Human Genetics in Berlin,
Germany, said: “The Voluson Expert 22 is a masterpiece of
engineering with exceptional 2D images from thin to difficult
scanning patients. This machine also has the outstanding ergonomics
and is the most customizable system ever produced. It is one of the
best ultrasound machines I have ever used.”1
Voluson’s modern user interface is simple and seamless, and the
23.8 inch high-definition ultrasound (HDU) display offers 3 image
sizes including unique full screen images that allows clinicians to
work comfortably and see finer details with ease. Clinicians can
personalize the user interface according to their unique
preferences and Respond probe activation automatically
initializes the probes and presets when removed from the probe
holder.
Dr. Lawrence Platt, MD, an Obstetrician-gynecologist at the
Center for Fetal Medicine in Los Angeles, USA, commented: “By
using AI, we are pushing limits and enhancing diagnostic
capabilities. At the same time, the functionality makes exams
easier. The AI built into this machine is so far advanced compared
to what we've seen before, and it’s only a hint. It's our
responsibility to push it even further by using it, by challenging
it, and showing it, makes a difference.”1
AI-powered tools include SonoLyst, which helps identify
fetal anatomy seen on standard views while enhancing efficiency by
up to 65%* by adding annotations and measurements;
SonoPelvicFloor, which simplifies the exam process by 80%*
automating plane alignment and measurements while offering workflow
guidance to improve efficiency while eliminating uncertainty;
SonoCNS which supports consistent measurements and help
drive workflow efficiency and reduce exam time by 81%* by helping
align and display recommended views and measurements of the fetal
brain from a 3D Volume.
“Technology continues to move obstetrics and gynecology forward,
but there is a delicate balance between using technology to enhance
medical care and the human role in medicine” said, Gerald
Seifriedsberger, General Manager- Women’s Health. “We are
incredibly proud to build on our legacy of innovation in women’s
health with the introduction of the Voluson Expert 22, and deliver
advanced ultrasound imaging at the point of care that allows for
more shared decision-making between clinician and patient.
Designed in partnership with leading OBGYN’s, the intuitive and
customizable ultra-premium Voluson Expert 22 is designed for a
world where patients want answers earlier, and clinicians need to
answer questions with greater confidence.
With GE Healthcare’s Voluson ultrasound systems, clinicians
conduct more than 400 million women’s health ultrasound exams every
year.
