GE HealthCare announced commercial availability of an advanced floor-mounted digital X-ray system, Definium™ Pace Select ET, designed to deliver high-image quality and optimize efficiency in highly demanding environments while enhancing access and affordability.
X-ray exams often serve as the entry point to diagnostic imaging, accounting for 60% of all imaging studies conducted, resulting in an ever-increasing workload for radiologists and technologists. This increased demand, combined with acute staffing challenges where 80% of healthcare organizations are short-staffed and radiology technologists have the highest vacancies, high burnout levels and work-related injuries creates critical barriers to providing timely, effective diagnostic imaging for patients in need of X-ray imaging.
GE HealthCare’s new Definium Pace Select ET solves for many of these challenges by automating manual, repetitive steps and helping to reduce physical strain. The system leverages AI to ensure accurate patient positioning and consistent image quality across various clinical conditions while streamlining the technologist workflow to maximize the patient experience and throughput.
Easy-to-use features allow technologists to focus on patient care
Building on the trusted Definium platform from GE HealthCare, the Definium Pace Select ET system brings advanced automation and workflow features to a flexible, floor-mounted system with elevating table, in-room exam control, and common user interface to assist technologists.
The Definium Pace Select ET system brings the same high image quality typically seen in more expensive overhead tube suspension (OTS) systems to the affordability-focused floor-mounted market. Designed and developed with extensive customer feedback, the system brings:
- Advanced automation to reduce workflow steps and physically demanding movements for technologists, potentially minimizing work-related injuries.
- Image variability reduction through the AI-enabled Helix™ Advanced Image Processing to provide consistent high-quality images.
- Prevention of errors before they occur through automated positioning, protocol selection, patient size (body habitus), and collimation via the Intelligent Workflow Suite, and a quality check prior to radiation exposure.
