GE Healthcare showcased a number of new cardiac imaging technologies at last week's Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) symposium in Washington, DC.
Innova Vision Technologies fuses real-time 2D x-ray images and 3D cardiac models from multiple modalities such as vascular x-ray, CT, and MR, according to the Chalfont St. Giles, U.K.-based vendor. The application also includes image stabilization features to reduce image motion during patient movement or breathing.
Built upon Innova's 3D imaging platform and GE's Advantage Workstation VolumeShare multimodality visualization and navigation workstation, Innova Vision Technologies allows for 3D/CT/MR image overlay on fluoroscopy, GE said. It's available on the company's Innova 2100IQ cardiovascular x-ray system and the firm's family of single-plane Innova systems.
In other TCT introductions, GE demonstrated its Innova 3100IQ Optima Edition, an interventional x-ray system capable of handling both interventional radiology and interventional cardiology needs, the firm said.
