• Critical Care Suite 2.0

    The first on-device AI solution that helps assess Endotracheal Tube positioning

GE X-ray AI Portal

Test drive the Critical Care Suite on the GE X-ray AI Portal with either
confirmed pneumothorax and/or misplaced endotracheal tube
cases and see how AI algorithms can assist.

An European challenge is open until 29 April 2022!

Endotracheal Tube Positioning

As many as 25% of intubations outside of the operating room result in mispositioned ET Tubes, which can lead to severe complications2-6.

Critical Care Suite’s Endotracheal Tube Positioning AI algorithm is now available on AMX 240 mobile X-ray systems.

  • Confidence at Point of Care

    • Provides an accurate and automated measurement of ET Tube position on the mobile X-ray device within seconds of image acquisition
    • The vertical distance of the tube tip and the carina is automatically calculated and displayed on device.
    • In 94% of cases the ET Tube tip-to-Carina distance calculation is accurate to within 1.0 cm7.

  • ET Tube Cases at a Glance

    • Enables immediate access to AI-derived measurements in PACS worklist via configurable DICOM® tags
    • Displays AI-generated measurements with an image overlay in PACS

Pneumothorax Detection and Triage

On-device AI solution that can detect and help triage critical conditions, such as pneumothorax, alleviating the overwhelming demand that urgent X-rays are placing on radiology teams.

The Pneumothorax detection is included in Critical Care Suite 2.0 and is available on AMX 240 mobile X-ray systems as well as Definium™ 656 HD and Definium 646 HD fixed X-ray systems.

  • High Accuracy8

    • Detects nearly all large pneumothoraces (96% sensitivity).
    • Identifies 3 out of 4 small pneumothoraces (75% sensitivity).
    • Limits false alerts (94% specificity).
    • An Area Under Curve (AUC) of 0.96.

  • Triage Notifications

    • Sends a secondary capture DICOM image to PACS and presents the AI results to the radiologist
    • Image flags help enable worklist prioritization and have the potential to expedite review of critical findings

Quality Care Suite

Quality Care Suite includes AI algorithms that operate in parallel and help radiographers reduce image quality errors and improve efficiency.

Quality Care Suite algorithms are included in Critical Care Suite 2.0 and is available on AMX 240 mobile X-ray systems as well as Definium 656 HD and Definium 646 HD fixed X-ray systems
Intelligent Auto Rotate
Saves the radiographer 3-4 user interface clicks on >80% of mobile chest x-ray exams, a savings of nearly 20 hours, or 3 working days and 70,000 "clicks" per year.7

    Seamless integration with your X-ray imaging workflow

    • 5. Critical Care Suite notifications on AMX 240

      A clickable ruler icon indicates to the radiographer that Critical Care Suite detected an ET Tube

    • 6. ET tube positioning AI algorithm output

      On-device AI viewer displays an automated measurement of ET tube position vs the carina within seconds of image acquisition

    • 7. Pneumothorax Detection

      If the exam has a suspicious finding for PTX, a yellow flag icon indicates to the radiographer that the image was flagged by CCS. An AI score is shown on device as well as an image overlay indicating the PTX location

    • 9. Critical Care Suite secondary DICOM sent to PACS

      A secondary capture DICOM image is sent to PACS with the original diagnostic image and contains the AI findings for the radiologist review
