[{"type":"text","content":"\n\nAs part of the latest Critical Care Suite 2.1 offering, new on-device AI helps detect and localize pneumothorax (PTX) – providing immediate notification and overlay for the presence or absence of PTX.\n\n\n\nResults from various clinical studies showed significant user benefits - including a 57% reduction in reporting times for clinical actionable PTXs;1 a 17.7% increase in clinician detection of small PTXs;2 and a 100% partial localization accuracy for detected large PTXs.3\n\n\n\n CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nToday GE HealthCare (Nasdaq: GEHC) announced an industry-first US FDA 510K clearance of Critical Care Suite 2.1 featuring a Pneumothorax (PTX) algorithm for the detection, notification, triage and diagnosis of PTX. The updated PTX algorithm expands Critical Care Suite’s on-device triage capabilities by providing immediate notification of the presence or absence of pneumothorax, as well as an overlay display both on-device and in PACS to assist with PTX localization.\n\nThis press release features multimedia.

(Photo: GE HealthCare)\nX-ray is the oldest form of imaging and a valuable tool on the frontlines of patient care, accounting for over 60 percent of all imaging exams.4 Today, as technologists, radiologists, and physicians remain under tremendous pressure to manage an ever-increasing number of cases, every minute counts when dealing with high-risk procedures and critical conditions like PTX. With the high number of chest X-rays ordered as “STAT,” or immediate priority, the triaging of true STAT orders remains a challenge.5 6\n\n\nAs the entry point to diagnostic imaging in the emergency room, inpatient bedside imaging and the intensive care unit (ICU), GE HealthCare continues to reinvent mobile X-ray to be one of the most intuitive and technologically powerful imaging tools available to help clinicians respond fast without compromising diagnostic precision.\n\n\nWith this latest update, Critical Care Suite 2.1 provides immediate on-device detection and triage notifications for the presence or absence of pneumothorax (PTX). When a PTX is detected, an overlay is displayed in the area where the PTX was located both ...
