Multimodality vendor GE Healthcare of Chalfont St. Giles, U.K., has received Food and Drug Administration clearance for Innova CT, a new technique that enables the creation of 3D images on the company's Innova 3100 and 4100 angiography systems.
GE's Innova CT technology produces CT-like 3D volumes from rotational angiography acquisitions. The technology enables the imaging of bone and soft tissue with the same system, which should prove to be an advantage during interventional procedures that previously might have required CT scans for guidance, according to the company.
The Innova CT clearance follows up on the launch earlier this year of a 3D vascular imaging technology, Innova 3D, that enables users to better visualize low-contrast structures such as soft tissue and bone detail.

![Representative example of a 16-year-old male patient with underlying X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. (A, B) Paired anteroposterior (AP) chest radiograph and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) report shows lumbar spine (L1 through L4) areal bone mineral density (BMD). The DXA report was reformatted for anonymization and improved readability. The patient had low BMD (Z score ≤ −2.0). (C) Model (chest radiography [CXR]–BMD) output shows the predicted raw BMD and Z score in comparison with the DXA reference standard, together with interpretability analyses using Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) and gradient-weighted class activation maps. The patient was classified as having low BMD, consistent with the reference standard. AM = age-matched, DEXA = dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, RM2 = room 2, SNUH = Seoul National University Hospital, YA = young adult.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/ai-children-bone-density.0snnf2EJjr.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
