AI Visualize Inc. debuted its new cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI)-based image analysis and viewing platform at the 2017 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Annual Meeting, Nov. 26-Dec. 1 in Chicago. The technology relies on evolution and deep learning algorithms to assess imaging data for diagnostically valuable information not readily apparent through conventional analysis, and transmits detailed 3-D/2-D renderings to users on any internet-enabled device. The technology assists physicians in making the most of today’s data-intensive images for more accurate and precise diagnoses. The advanced interactive platform supports X-ray, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 3-D tomosynthesis and digital pathology images, and provides a full range of relevant virtual image analysis tools.

GE Healthcare announced U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance of its new Air Technology, what it calls an industry-first suite of radiofrequency (RF) coils that enables total freedom in coil positioning and handling during a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. The new coil design is 60 percent lighter than conventional coils, benefiting both patients and technologists, offers greater flexibility in all axes to help conform to patients’ anatomies and fits all patient ages, sizes and shapes.
