GE Healthcare launches 3 diagnostic imaging product lines

General Electric company arm, GE Healthcare has launched three new powerful diagnostic imaging product lines to help reduce the radiation dose to patients and improve the quality of images during diagnosis. "Optima, Brivo and Discovery--the new offering encompass GE's diagnostic imaging products that enables healthcare providers to do research, diagnose, treat, monitor and share critical information for diseases," said company VP and GM Molecular Imaging & Computed Tomography, Gene L Saragnese. These digital imaging systems are far superior to the earlier generation of analogue system and can examine one in seconds thus reducing the radiation dosage to patients and also giving clearer images to the radiologists, Global GM, GE Healthcare X-Ray, David Wildman, told media here.

Healthcare providers are looking for ways to find disease sooner to help people live longer and full lives and GE is going one step further in focusing on 'Early Health', or prevention and pre-symptomatic disease detection, he said.
GE Healthcare Research and Development has invested heavily in India (Bangalore) especially which employs over 1,000 engineers and scientists.

Describing 'Optima', Wildman said, it delivers the functionality clinicians need to accommodate high patient volumes thus reducing radiation dose to each patient. 'Brivo' provides functionally straight forward and practical package for quality digital results. While, 'Discovery' product lines offer breakthrough applications including real-time cardiac imaging, multi-contrast abdominal images with outstanding fat/water separation and high-resolution muscular-skeletal exams with high patient throughput.
