GE HealthCare to expand radiation oncology portfolio and introduce new AI-enabled solutions

GE HealthCare announced an intended expansion of its radiation oncology portfolio as well as the introduction of the new AI-enabled MR Contour DL™ at the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ESTRO) 2025 Congress in Vienna, Austria. The company will also showcase its updated Intelligent Radiation Therapy (iRT), a software solution that standardizes complex workflows, helping to enable a shorter timeline from diagnosis to treatment and more precise radiation therapy.

A radiation oncology portfolio that is poised to enable more timely and precise patient care
GE HealthCare intends to add Spectronic Medical AB’s software offering to its radiation oncology portfolio. Spectronic is headquartered in Helsingborg, Sweden, and is focused on advanced image analysis solutions which are designed to improve clinical workflows and enhance patient care in radiation oncology.

To support the growth of its magnetic resonance (MR) in radiation therapy expertise and enhance treatment planning capabilities, GE HealthCare expects to leverage Spectronic Medical’s FDA 510(k) cleared and CE-marked MRI Planner software to enable MR-only radiotherapy workflows. The MRI Planner software leverages AI to convert standard MR images of the brain, head-neck and pelvis into synthetic computed tomography (CT) images required for radiation treatment planning.

The Spectronic Medical technology is expected to complement other advanced GE HealthCare solutions for efficient MR-guided radiotherapy workflows, including the AIR™ RT Coil Suite, and AI-based applications such as AIR™ Recon DL for improved image quality and MR Contour DL for organ at risk (OAR) segmentation.

Introducing a new AI model to enable more efficient and precise radiation therapy planning
GE HealthCare also announced the U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance of MR Contour DL, an AI model that uses deep learning for organs at risk (OAR) segmentation. MR Contour DL leverages the soft-tissue detail of MR images to create precise organ contours of OAR during radiation therapy treatment planning, a process that was previously entirely manual, bringing efficiency, consistency, and accuracy. The model is capable of segmenting 37 organs and structures in the head-neck and pelvic regions based on standard 2D or 3D MR image datasets.

MR Contour DL will be integrated into GE HealthCare’s iRT digital solution for radiation therapy workflow management, reducing diagnostic time and workload. When combined with MRI Planner, AIR RT Coil Suite and AIR Recon DL, MR Contour DL enables a complete AI-powered, MR-only simulation workflow which aims to deliver more precise radiation therapy treatment.

Updated Intelligent Radiation Therapy (iRT) solution adds MR and AI-driven workflows
At ESTRO 2025, GE HealthCare will also be showcasing its newly updated iRT solution. Building on the successful first generation iRT, the latest version provides significant enhancements to unlock third party AI-driven workflows and embeds MR into the solution to meet the growing demand for MR-guided radiation therapy. The new capabilities include:
