Know more now.SenoBright* **Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography. SenoBright helps to increase confidence of lesion presence. Breast imaging is currently going through a period of major change.

SenoBright, based on a new GE Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography (CESM**) technology, is a combination of digital mammography with an intravenous injection of iodine, a common contrast agent. The exam provides two images per view of both breasts, one which shows tissue morphology like a standard mammography image, the second reveals angiogenesis, which can be associated with cancerous tumor growth.

Thanks to the combination of two types of images, generated by the system, one obtained at low-energy spectrum and one at high-energy spectrum, the radiologist has one clear final image where signal from the normal tissue is removed and where contrast appears very distinctly.

SenoBright could be interesting alternative when additional tests are required to clarify an equivocal lesion, being a very fast imaging technique with immediate availability in the mammography suite without the waiting often associated with other types of tests.


** SenoBright option may not be available in all regions. 510(k) pending at FDA. Not available for sale in the United States.

Know more now.SenoBright* **Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography. SenoBright helps to increase confidence of lesion presence. Breast imaging is currently going through a period of major change.

SenoBright, based on a new GE Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography (CESM**) technology, is a combination of digital mammography with an intravenous injection of iodine, a common contrast agent. The exam provides two images per view of both breasts, one which shows tissue morphology like a standard mammography image, the second reveals angiogenesis, which can be associated with cancerous tumor growth.

Thanks to the combination of two types of images, generated by the system, one obtained at low-energy spectrum and one at high-energy spectrum, the radiologist has one clear final image where signal from the normal tissue is removed and where contrast appears very distinctly.

SenoBright could be interesting alternative when additional tests are required to clarify an equivocal lesion, being a very fast imaging technique with immediate availability in the mammography suite without the waiting often associated with other types of tests.

The feeding vessels 3D roadmap can be exported to the new Innova Vision program, and superimposed on live fluoroscopic imaging to help the doctor steer the catheter to the target as quickly as possible. It has the potential to speed up & improve the sensitivity of finding the arteries feeding the tumors, and extend the technique to more practitioners as it improves confidence in performing this difficult technique.

Perform interventionswith confidence.Innova* VisionThis overlay of a 3D rotational X-ray, CT or MR image with a 2D fluoroscopic image creates a fused roadmapping display. It helps you advance guidewires, catheters, coils and devices more confidently by visualizing them on the 3D model in real time.


** Note: Flightplan for Liver is commercially released for Europe. It is not commercially released in the USA as it has not obtained regulatory clearance by FDA. For further countries in Asia and elsewhere, please, contact your local GE office or Sales Representation.

Progress with confidence.Innova* TrackVisionDuring needle-based procedures, interventionalists must know where the needle is in the anatomy. Innova TrackVision lets the user precisely define the target and entry points on multiple trajectories and visualize the anatomy the needle will pass through. For example, during a cementoplasty procedure, the bone anatomy can be fused on the fluoroscopic image to help verify in real-time the accuracy of needle positioning within the anatomy.
