GE HealthCare Adds AI Feature "Lung Guidance" to Portable Ultrasound Device, On Sale from November 5
Published
GE HealthCare Japan has added a new AI feature, "Lung Guidance," to its Vscan (V-Scan) series of portable ultrasound diagnostic devices. Sales will begin on November 5. This feature is the third AI feature in the series.
An ultrasound diagnostic device is a medical instrument that uses sound reflections to produce images of the inside of the body. Because the Vscan is small and portable, it is used on hospital wards, at emergency sites, and for home visits. AI features are believed to help doctors and other medical staff who operate the device better understand the examination procedure.
The newly added "Lung Guidance" is considered to be a feature that supports lung examinations. As portable devices are increasingly used to check the condition of the lungs, it is expected to help with examinations.
GE HealthCare Japan plans to continue using AI to provide products that are easy to use in medical settings. The Vscan series is expected to contribute to more efficient examinations at medical institutions and to ultrasound examinations being performed in a wider range of locations.
