A new anticancer agent in development promotes regeneration of damaged heart muscle — an unexpected research finding that may help prevent congestive heart failure in the future.

GE Healthcare’s Life Sciences business announced in January that it acquired Rapidscan Pharma Solutions Inc., which has the exclusive rights to produce and sell the pharmacological stress agent Rapiscan (regadenoson) in territories outside the U.S., Canada and Mexico. GE Healthcare will help bring improved access to Rapiscan, offering an alternative screening method for patients who are unable to undergo traditional cardiac stress imaging procedures.

Healthcare analytics company Innovaccer Inc. announced the launch of its holistic MIPS Platform designed to enable providers to deliver better clinical outcomes. The platform does this by helping providers monitor performances, understand population, efficiently manage data and easily submit it to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

NCDR Annual Conference (NCDR.17)

Scientists don’t fully understand how one condition leads to the other, but researchers in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have now discovered a significant clue, which ultimately could lead new therapies for preventing the condition.

The supply chain can serve as a critical strategic asset when addressing important initiatives tied to managing costs and quality of care.

Hospital procedural areas should step back from pre-existing inefficient processes and work-arounds, and instead focus attention on leveraging automation and technology to drive efficiencies, lower costs and improve care quality.

At the 2016 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting, GE Healthcare unveiled Freelium, a magnet technology designed to use 1 percent of liquid helium compared to conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) magnets. Instead of the average 2,000 liters of precious liquid helium, Freelium is designed to use only about 20 liters.

February 6, 2017 — At the Society of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) 20th Annual Scientific Sessions, GE Healthcare showcased cmr42 cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) post-processing software integrated onto its GE Advantage Workstation (AW) and AW Server platforms.
