GE Healthcare introduces the SIGNA experience: a new platform of transformative technologies that leverage the power of AI and deep learning in magnetic resonance imaging

• SIGNA Experience is a new platform with solutions that work together to ensure a seamless scanning experience for physician, technologist and patient, with improved clinical efficiency

• The cornerstone of SIGNA Experience is SIGNA One, an imaging platform with a new user interface that enables intuitive workflow, efficiency, simplicity and intelligent automation of the MRI imaging process

CHICAGO, November 27–(BUSINESS WIRE)–GE Healthcare today announced the launch of SIGNA Experience, a platform of four synergistic technologies that helps users along the diagnostic journey. This integrated collection works together to ensure the smoothest magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) experience possible for the physician, technologists of all skill levels, and the patient.

• sign a is the cornerstone of these solutions: A next-generation imaging software platform supporting an elegant and intuitive user interface, designed to deliver high-quality magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.

• AI/Deep Learning solutions: pioneering artificial intelligence and deep learning applications, such as AIR Recon DL for improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), image sharpness and faster scan time. To date, approximately 5.5 million patients worldwide have been scanned with AIR Recon DL^I.

• Workflow Solutions: Automated and intelligent workflow technologies, which include AIR x and AIR Touch, which guide technologists to help improve, speed up and simplify the setup of an MRI exam.

• AIR Coils: Industry-leading transformative technology in coils, which are flexible, lightweight and comfortable, allowing complete freedom in coil positioning and manipulation during an MRI examination.

With operational efficiency being the fastest growing challenge for radiology departments, SIGNA One enables greater workflow productivity by requiring only a fraction of the clicks needed to complete an exam, from setup to the exam finished.ⁱⁱ. The platform’s modern user experience is consistent with the common day-to-day interactions individuals have with devices such as computers, phones, and tablets, which promotes ease of use. The advantages of this user interface are that it allows:

• Intuitive workflow for all experience levels and virtually no learning curve. Technologists can track progress at a glance with helpful visual reminders, letting them know where they are at any point in the scanning process.

• Efficiency with visually-assisted highlighted fields to guide technologists step-by-step, making the process smoother; and design flexibility to accommodate future expansion of AI and workflows.

• Simplification with an easy-to-use express mode that requires just a few clicks to complete an exam, streamlining workflow and maximizing throughput.

• Smart automation that highlights the most likely action following an analysis.

“Today, we are excited to announce a new platform of transformative technologies to complement our exciting MR portfolio,” said Jie Xue, President and CEO, Magnetic Resonance, GE Healthcare. “SIGNA Experience was designed in response to current industry pressures, to help achieve operational efficiency and simplicity, as clinicians are faced with a high volume of backlog non-urgent scans caused in large part by the impact of COVID-19, radiologist shortages and staff burnout, as well as today’s growing disease burden.These technologies allow scanner operators of all levels to do their jobs without compromising quality. and yield.

SIGNA One is currently commercially available on SIGNA Prime. All other SIGNA Experience solutions are currently commercially available.
