GE scanner fuses US images with CT, MR, and PET data

October 2, 2008 Diagnostic Imaging. GE scanner fuses US images with CT, MR, and PET data Volume Navigation guides interventions by updating 3D models with gray-scale and color sonograms -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GE Healthcare has a new ultrasound flagship, one whose architecture and beamformer improve image uniformity as its workflow tools speed routine scans, according to the company. But the most remarkable aspect of GE's latest ultrasound system is none of these. It's not even related to diagnosis. What sets GE's new scanner, the Logiq E9, apart is the ability to simultaneously display side-by-side-or even one laid over the other in a 3D model-gray-scale or color ultrasound data and CT, MR, or PET data. This ability to merge data from other modalities into a live ultrasound scan is conveyed by the E9's Volume Navigation, which continuously updates the volumetric model of a patient with real-time ultrasound data, offering moment-to-moment guidance for interventionalists.
