GE will feature upgrades to its flagship Logiq 9 platform, and its Voluson 730 Expert series.
Key new features on Logiq 9 include CrossBeam, which enhances border definition without impacting frame rate, according to the Waukesha, WI-based vendor. VoiceScan is a voice-activated control feature that allows physicians and sonographers to control system functions by voice command. By talking into a wireless headset, operators can interact with Logiq 9 and have it perform more than 150 actions, GE said.
Speckle Reduction Imaging (SRI) is a method for eliminating speckle by utilizing adaptive real-time software algorithms that smooth images in areas where no borders or edges are present, while preserving borders where differences in echogenicity occur, according to the vendor.
Voluson 730’s most important feature, according to the company, is Fetal Echo, a 4-D ultrasound technology that allows physicians to visualize the complete fetal heart in color without external triggering devices.
