- The next-generation Definium™ 656 HD, featuring in-room
workflows, motorization and the Intelligent Workflow Suite, assists
technologists with patient positioning and technique selection to
reduce physical workload and improve overall efficiency to make the
first image count and maximize a technologist’s time with
patients.
- A combination of FlashPad™ detectors, advanced image creation
applications, and the latest AI-driven Helix™ Advanced Image
Processing software improves clarity, reduces errors and decreases
variability for radiologists.
GE Healthcare released its most advanced fixed X-ray system yet,
the next-generation Definium 656 HD. Leading GE Healthcare’s
portfolio of fixed X-ray products, this latest generation of the
overhead tube suspension (OTS) system delivers consistent, highly
automated, efficient exams that impart clinical confidence while
simplifying workflow, improving consistency, and reducing errors to
help keep radiology departments running smoothly.
X-ray imaging often provides the entry point to diagnostic
imaging - accounting for 60% of all imaging studies conducted1. As
a result, X-ray technologists, radiologists and radiology
administrators are required to manage an ever-increasing caseload,
while facing challenges from the heavy lifting, repetitive motions
and long hours required that lead to a high work-related
musculoskeletal disorders rate2, as well as ‘repeat and reject’
rates as high as 25%3 4 resulting from variability in patient
positioning and exam set up.
The Definium 656 HD, featuring the Intelligent Workflow Suite,
is a versatile, digital radiographic system powered by GE’s
FlashPad HD high resolution detectors and the latest Helix 2.2
advanced image processing software. Combining the highest levels of
motorization, automation, assistive intelligence and advanced
applications with fastest movement and highest weight capacity in
GE Healthcare’s fixed X-ray portfolio5, the system acts like a
‘personal assistant’ to help technologists deliver consistent,
efficient, and highly automated imaging exams that impart clinical
confidence across the radiology department, while also improving
overall patient experience by keeping workflow control in the room
for healthcare providers.
To address the day-to-day physical demands of technologists, the
next-generation Definium 656 HD helps reduce patient positioning
time, physical workload, errors and image retakes through
easy-to-use features that speed up the imaging process without
compromising image quality, including:
- 5-axis motorization and auto-positioning provides for
fast automatic positioning to any location in the room to speed up
workflow and reduce strain on the technologist.
- Automated In-Room Workflows enabled by a 12” touchscreen
on the tube head console, and AutoRad† software, support
manual or automatic workflow control in the room to reduce the
number of steps and clicks for technologists.
- Intelligent Workflow Suite† leverages 3D camera
technology to produce more consistent images while avoiding
repeated X-rays before they occur.
To address ‘repeat and reject’ rates that can negatively impact
day-to-day clinical operations as well as give radiologists the
views they need to make clinical decisions with confidence, the
Definium 656 HD also features high-quality detectors, advanced
applications, and AI-driven image processing to reduce variability
and provides optimal image quality, including:
- Cutting-edge 100 um FlashPad HD detectors and the latest
Helix 2.2 advanced image processing with on-device
artificial intelligence (AI) provides outstanding clarity and
exceptional anatomical detail across image types with
anatomy-specific image enhancement regardless of variations in
dose, patient positioning, field of view and metal.
- Auto Image Paste† at the table and wall stand enhanced
with AutoSpine supports the fast, precise stitching of long
images; and
- VolumeRAD† ™ Digital Tomosynthesis provides multi-level
image slices for additional diagnostic information.
“At GE Healthcare we strive to provide meaningful technologies
and solutions that can help our customers deliver the best possible
patient care. With a focus on technologist workflow and efficiency,
patient satisfaction, and exam quality, we are elated to introduce
the next-generation Definium 656 HD x-ray system,” says Tanya
Lancaster, General Manager for Fixed X-ray. “This new offering
enables healthcare providers to benefit from the highest levels of
motorization, automation, assistive intelligence, and advanced
applications offered to date in GE Healthcare’s fixed X-ray
portfolio. Not only does this system provide optimal image quality,
but it can also reduce the physical workload for technologists and
streamline the overall exam workflow. While addressing some of the
key challenges technologist and radiologist face, Definium 656 HD
can help improve department efficiency along with staff and patient
experience. With our next-generation Definium 656 HD, we are
excited to deliver our latest in patient-centric innovation to help
our customers make every image count.”
