At the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging 2023 annual meeting, GE HealthCare is proud to showcase new, innovative technologies and diagnostics that enable personalized medicine and precision care to help clinicians improve patient outcomes around the world. This includes the introduction of new artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for enhanced image quality; the advancement of Theranostics; and achievement of new milestones in the accessibility and development of pharmaceutical diagnostics for precision care.
Sixty percent of clinicians say healthcare that is personalized for each patient is very important for the future.i However, achieving a more personalized and flexible healthcare experience requires fundamental changes in the way healthcare operates. The system must evolve to be smarter, easier and more collaborative. Fortunately, this evolution is already underway, and both clinicians and patients agree with the direction.
“The future of medicine consists of a powerful blend of precision diagnostic imaging and targeted therapy for the more personalized treatment of cancer and other diseases – and at the heart of this rapidly emerging field is molecular imaging and Theranostics,” shares Dr. Narinder Paul, Lawson Scientist; Chief, Medical Imaging at St. Joseph’s; Physician Executive, Medical Imaging at London Health Sciences Centre; and Chair, Department of Medical Imaging at Western University. “Together, this two-pronged approach to diagnosing and treating patients – along with the use of pharmaceutical diagnostics and radiotracers – can not only identify the location and extent of diseased tissues but also selectively destroy the abnormal cells while helping reduce the damage to surrounding healthy cells. It truly is cutting-edge medicine that has the potential to revolutionize patient care.”
Enabling personalized medicine
Whether researching new tracers and diagnostic techniques or helping a patient plan their treatment path, GE HealthCare understands the importance of providing innovative technologies and solutions to enable the best possible patient care.
With this in mind, GE HealthCare is proud to unveil SIGNA PET/MR AIR, expanding access to its popular magnetic resonance (MR) imaging technologies – including AIR Recon DL and AIR Coils – to the practice of molecular imaging and across more care areas. Pairing the industry’s most sensitive Time-of-Flight (ToF) PET detector and the company’s most capable MR technology with AIR, the SIGNA PET/MR AIR leverages the latest advancements in GE HealthCare’s medical technology and digital solutions to help clinicians see some of the smallest lesions, research new tracers, and more accurately plan treatment paths for every patient. Unlike conventional inflexible coils, AIR Coils are pliable and adapt to the shape of the human body, resembling a gentle blanket.
