Image Maker: Investigational Technology Producing Sharp X-Rays Gets Its First Big Tryout
For decades, physicians have used CT scanners to take pictures deep inside your body. They’ve become indispensable to patient care, yet even these remarkable devices have their limits. Now, two research organizations are beginning a pilot study of a technology with the potential to produce X-ray images crisper and more precise than existing approaches.
Chicago - October 22, 2021: At this year’s ASTRO 2021 event, GE Healthcare will showcase over 15 innovative multi-modality radiation therapy solutions, offering medical practitioners imaging tools and support they need to improve patient-centered care and advance the practice of precision medicine.

New online training to quickly upskill CT diagnosis of COVID-19
CT scans are one of the most valuable tools to rapidly and accurately diagnose COVID-19 infection and help triage patients for treatment. But because the virus is new, few specialist radiologists have experience in identifying early signs of COVID-19 on CT scans.

It shouldn’t be a problem with this one,” radiologist Enzo Angeli joked last year as an unusual specimen was wheeled through the doors of his department.

Namely, the patient hadn’t moved in nearly 80 years.
