Precise and personalized care

GE HealthCarestrives to support health systems by delivering a personalized care pathway for each patient. GE HealthCare’s integrated cancer care products leverage digital, AI and our suite of innovative solutions along with imaging technologies and radiopharmaceuticals. These components are designed to enhance diagnoses, drive productivity, increase value, speed and efficiency, and improve overall patient health.

At the event,GE HealthCarehas several new oncology technologies that help provide personalized care:

  • Aurora, 510(k) pending in theU.S, is a new dual head SPECT/CT, designed to help clinicians solve operational and diagnostic challenges as well as develop personalized approaches for better patient outcomes. It integrates deep learning image reconstruction and a collection of advanced CT clinical and effortless workflow solutions designed to help support better patient care.*
  • GE HealthCareand RadNet recently announced a strategic collaboration that will leverage GE HealthCare’s legacy and scale of imaging innovation andRadNet’s DeepHealthAI-powered clinical and workflow solutions to further the innovation, commercialization, and adoption of AI in imaging. Together,GE HealthCareand DeepHealth aim to create SmartTechnologyTM solutions that harness the power of AI to help redefine radiology workflows and address key challenges across the imaging value chain to improve speed, clinical accuracy, operational efficiency, and elevate patient care.
  • Senographe Pristina Viais an advanced mammography system that introduces innovative features designed to support technologist workflow and streamline the image acquisition process.
  • CareIntellect for Oncologyis a new cloud-first application that brings together multi-modal patient data from disparate systems into a single view, using generative AI to summarize clinical notes and reports. This solution also surfaces relevant data allowing care teams to quickly understand disease progression and flag potential deviations from the treatment plan to help the clinician determine next steps and inform proactive interventions. The application is planned to be available in theU.S.in 2025, initially focusing on prostate and breast cancer. The company aims to quickly expand into new disease types and care areas.Tampa General HospitalandUT Southwestern Medical Centerwill be early evaluators of CareIntellect for Oncology, and integration is already underway.

In addition, theranostics is a rapidly growing field of molecular imaging leveraging radiotracers and diagnostic imaging equipment including PET and SPECT systems to precisely diagnose and monitor disease for the targeted delivery of therapy to patients. These therapeutic and diagnostic technologies work together to provide a personalized, highly precise, patient-centric approach to medical diagnosis and treatment.

“Cancer care requires a personalized approach across the care continuum – from early detection and diagnosis, to planning, intervention and monitoring – to help improve patient outcomes,” saidRoland Rott, president and CEO of Imaging atGE HealthCare. “Because of our comprehensive solutions and expertise in the healthcare industry,GE HealthCareis uniquely positioned to support every step of the theranostics care pathway while helping solve diagnosis challenges and develop personalized approaches.”

GE HealthCarehas recently announced new theranostics-related innovations including:

INDICATIONS AND USAGE OF FLYRCADOTM:

Indications and Usage

FLYRCADO is a radioactive diagnostic drug indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) under rest or stress (pharmacologic or exercise) in adult patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) to evaluate for myocardial ischemia and infarction.

Contraindications

None

Warnings and Precautions

  • Risk associated with exercise or pharmacologic stress: Patients evaluated with exercise or pharmacologic stress may experience serious adverse reactions such as myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, hypotension, bronchoconstriction, stroke, and seizure. Perform stress testing in the setting where cardiac resuscitation equipment and trained staff are readily available. When pharmacologic stress is selected as an alternative to exercise, perform the procedure in accordance with the pharmacologic stress agent’s prescribing information.
  • Radiation risks: FLYRCADO contributes to a patient’s overall long-term cumulative radiation exposure. Long-term cumulative radiation exposure is associated with an increased risk of cancer. Ensure safe handling to minimize radiation exposure to patients and health care providers. Advise patients to hydrate before and after administration and to void.

Adverse Reactions

  • Most common adverse reactions occurring during FLYRCADO PET MPI under rest and stress (pharmacologic or exercise) (incidence ≥ 2%) are dyspnea, headache, angina pectoris, chest pain, fatigue, ST segment changes, flushing, nausea, abdominal pain, dizziness, and arrhythmia.
