CHICAGO: GE HealthCare (Nasdaq: GEHC) today announced its latest innovations in radiation oncology that will be showcased at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) 2024 conference in Washington, DC. These novel solutions aim to improve the entirety of the radiation therapy workflow for clinicians and cancer patients.
It is estimated that 470,000 patients receive radiotherapy each year in the U.S. and more than half of patients with cancer will receive radiotherapy.i The silver lining is, that in recent years, improvements in diagnosis, therapy, and supportive care have led to increasing numbers of cancer survivors.i The innovations showcased at ASTRO are helping clinicians more efficiently navigate the complex oncology care pathway, ultimately enabling truncated timelines from diagnosis to treatment, which are critical for improved patient outcomes.
GE HealthCare will be showcasing the following radiation oncology solutions at ASTRO 2024:
“We are innovating to solve the greatest challenges in radiation oncology and aiming to provide more complete understanding of the data that inform key clinical decisions throughout the care pathway,” says Dr. Ben Newton, GE HealthCare’s general manager for Oncology Solutions. “Our portfolio of deep learning-based interoperable solutions includes innovations that span from pre-treatment planning to post-treatment imaging, featuring AI-enhanced solutions that connect and optimize workflows to better curate and synthesize complex data and allow clinicians to focus more of their time on patient care.”
Intelligent Radiation Therapy (iRT)
Top healthcare institutions across the globe – from the United States to India – have begun to use iRT to upgrade the workflow for patients undergoing radiation therapy. iRT’s multi-vendor data orchestration capabilities provide standardization of complex workflows, which could enable a shorter timeline to treatment for patients. Additionally, iRT is designed to manage advanced imaging and machine learning algorithms, which in turn help to enable more precise targeting of tumors while aiming to minimize damage to surrounding healthy tissues. The recently enhanced iRT solution includes an Instaplan feature (with RaySearch) that creates a treatment plan while the patient is still on the simulation table. This is a paradigm shift that could potentially reduce the critical time between simulation and first radiation dose. It also features MR Direct (with Spectronic Medical), which is integrated into iRT, and harnesses the power of AI to convert MR simulation images into an equivalent CT image that can be used for RT dose calculation. Simplified Planning (through MIM Software) within iRT also allows for advanced interoperability with automated context launching to simplify pre-treatment planning steps including image viewing, segmentation, and fusion.
At ASTRO 2024, GE HealthCare and MIM Software will be hosting two lunch symposiums, including:
