GE HealthCare has launched its deep learning (DL)-enabled CleaRecon DL to improve the quality of conebeam CT (CBCT) images.
The system is designed to remove streak artifacts caused by pulsating blood flow in the arteries and changes in contrast distribution during CBCT image acquisitions in the liver, prostate, brain, and endovascular aortic repair procedures.

CleaRecon DL recently received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and CE marking. It will be available for use on the Allia platform, the company added.
CleaRecon DL uses deep learning algorithms that are designed to provide clearer and more accurate imaging. GE HealthCare said that during clinical validation testing, a recent survey noted that in 98% of cases, CBCT images reconstructed with CleaRecon DL are clearer than conventional CBCT images.
CleaRecon DL is available in the U.S. and the European Union. It will be showcased on the Allia platform at the Global Embolization Symposium & Technologies (GEST) 2025 annual meeting from May 15 to 18 in New York.

The CT image is shown in the axial plane. The PMV is automatically extracted using the developed deep learning model and overlayed onto the lungs for visual clarity.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/03/genkin.25LqljVF0y.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&crop=focalpoint&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
