Insights
- Collaboration will leverage GE HealthCare’s legacy and scale of imaging innovation and RadNet’s DeepHealth AI-powered clinical and workflow solutions to further the innovation, commercialization, and adoption of AI in imaging.
- Together, GE HealthCare and RadNet’s DeepHealth aim to create SmartTechnology™ 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.
- To demonstrate the promise of this strategic relationship, the collaboration will first work to bring together DeepHealth’s AI-powered SmartMammo™ 1 solution with GE HealthCare’s patient-centric Senographe Pristina™ mammography system to enhance the way women receive breast care.
- The two companies intend to explore additional areas of collaboration to further expand the access and impact of AI-based workflows in other imaging modalities.
With the global cancer burden continuing to rise,2 health systems face increasing challenges and seek solutions to enhance early detection and diagnosis when treatment can be most effective. To help address these challenges and demonstrate the promise of this strategic relationship, the two companies will first work to bring together DeepHealth’s AI-based SmartMammo™1 workflow and clinical solution and GE HealthCare’s patient-centric Senographe Pristina™ mammography system to bring AI-powered clinical imaging support to breast cancer screening.
GE HealthCare’s Senographe Pristina mammography system was designed to ease anxiety the moment the patient enters the exam room. It features an inviting gantry with elegant lighting and rounded shapes, as well as a soft-curved surface that welcomes patients into a space of comfort and support – with
RadNet’s DeepHealth SmartMammo is an AI-powered SaaS solution designed to seamlessly integrate into existing breast cancer diagnostic workflows, enhancing diagnostic accuracy4 and workflow efficiency. By embedding imaging informatics into advanced mammography systems, the solution can support high-volume breast cancer screening programs. The SmartMammo offering will work to prioritize cases based on suspicion level and ensure seamless integration and interoperability with existing healthcare IT infrastructure.
SmartMammo includes: 1) a cloud-native smart enterprise image viewer with PACS functionality that enables fast image loading and real-time data rendering of multimodality images, accessible from any workstation and location, 2) integration with the radiologist worklist and reporting tools to streamline the workflow, and 3) a suite of clinical AI detection tools that offers automatic lesion localization and degree of suspicion that are effective in diverse populations and dense breast tissue.1, 4 The cloud-native architecture of the DeepHealth OS powering SmartMammo simplifies support and maintenance while allowing for seamless feature updates and functionality enhancements without any downtime.
Through this collaboration, the two companies also seek to include Smart Alerts, a DeepHealth workflow solution to be integrated with Senographe Pristina that will utilize rapid AI processing with the goal of alerting imaging sites to cases with potentially suspicious lesions in minutes. This kind of solution aims to empower same-day diagnostic exams, follow-up compliance, and reduced anxiety for women with potentially suspicious findings.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with GE HealthCare to accelerate the adoption of AI-powered technologies in radiology," said Kees Wesdorp, President and CEO of RadNet’s Digital Health division. "By combining our pioneering cloud-native operating system, DeepHealth OS, and our AI-powered health informatics portfolio with GE HealthCare’s cutting-edge imaging technology, we are poised to revolutionize large-scale diagnostic and screening programs, streamline radiology workflows, and improve patient outcomes. This collaboration aims to empower healthcare providers with the tools they need to deliver more effective and personalized care at scale."
“GE HealthCare has a legacy of imaging and AI innovation and is committed to our continued pursuit of new technologies that push the boundaries of what is possible to enable precision care. This new collaboration with DeepHealth harnesses our combined strengths to address critical challenges in healthcare today,” explained Roland Rott, President & Chief Executive Officer of Imaging for GE HealthCare. “As we look to make more personalized, patient-centered breast care a reality – AI continues to show great promise in breast cancer screening from early detection and risk prediction, to reduced callbacks and more efficient workflows for breast imaging providers. We are excited to bring the power of imaging and AI together to elevate personalized breast care for those facing this difficult diagnosis.”
The two companies’ agreement will enable GE Healthcare to distribute SmartMammo and other DeepHealth solutions to imaging providers in
In addition to collaborating on SmartMammo, GE HealthCare and RadNet’s DeepHealth intend to explore areas of further collaboration for SmartTechnology solutions in other modalities and clinical domains, to expand the access to and impact of AI-based workflows.
