GE Healthcare gets USFDA clearance for AIR Recon DL with 3D, PROPELLER features

As of September 2022, at least 3.5 million patients globally have been scanned with AIR Recon DL. According to a recent AIR Recon DL 3D and PROPELLER reader study:

• 100% of the participants said that the deep learning solution provides better signal-to-noise ratio and better or equivalent image sharpness than conventional image reconstruction;
• 99% also said AIR Recon DL provides better or equivalent lesion conspicuity; and
• Reports also indicate up to 50% reduction in exam times, creating efficiency in workflow and increased productivity.

"By expanding AIR Recon DL to 3D and PROPELLER, GE Healthcare has closed the gaps in our ability to provide improved image quality and patient experience to all our patients across exam types, particularly for brain imaging where we rely heavily on 3D sequences and musculoskeletal imaging where PROPELLER is important for reducing image quality variability and eliminating repeat sequences due to motion," says Dr. Tiron Pechet, Radiologist and Assistant Medical Director at Shields Health Care Group.

AIR Recon DL and the recent extensions are available on new GE Healthcare MRI scanners, and as an upgrade for the vast majority of GE Healthcare's installed 1.5T and 3.0T MRI systems. Beyond its efficiency and productivity benefits to the industry, this upgrade will enable previously installed scanners to refresh and function like new systems – allowing imaging facilities to enjoy the most advanced imaging capabilities on their existing systems, while saving on capital expenditure amid today's cost constrained environment.
