SonoLyst, powered by Intelligent Ultrasound's ScanNav AI, launches on new GE HealthCare Voluson Signature Series ultrasound machines
Intelligent Ultrasound Group plc (AIM: IUG), the 'classroom to clinic' ultrasound company specialising in AI software and simulation, announces that GE HealthCare's SonoLyst software, powered by Intelligent Ultrasound's ScanNav AI, has been launched on the new Voluson Signature Series portfolio of ultrasound machines, the Signature 20 and Signature 18.
SonoLystlive enhances ultrasound image recognition by automatically capturing images in real-time, as the clinician scans a mid-trimester patient. Using practice guidelines from the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG), the AI software automatically recognises the anatomy, captures the image and checks it off the list of required views. By minimising the need to manually freeze, annotate and store images, the software reduces keystrokes by up to 65% and exam time by up to 40% for sonographers.
SonoLystlive will be offered as a standard feature on the Voluson Signature 20 and as an option on the Voluson Signature 18.
Stuart Gall, CEO of Intelligent Ultrasound, commented: "We are pleased that with this launch, SonoLyst, powered by our ScanNav AI software, is now available on three GE HealthCare ultrasound machine ranges -- Expert, Signature and SWIFT. GE HealthCare is leading the way in using AI software to improve obstetric workflows for the benefit of clinicians and patients, while saving scanning time and destressing the scanning environment for sonographers. We remain excited that our novel 'classroom-to-clinic' approach is making clinical diagnostic ultrasound easier to learn and simpler to use."
