GE Healthcare announces a method to maintain or improve

A multi-center study was announced by GE Healthcare which will focus on investigating the performance of Model Based Iterative Reconstruction (MBIR) as a method to maintain or improve diagnostic information available to clinicians while dramatically lowering radiation dose in routine CT imaging.  GE trusts further advancements in HD Technologies, like MBIR, offer potential for another leap in resolution and cutbacks of patient dose; even below the level of today’s CT scanners.  MBIR uses an iterative model-based technique to restructure images with lower noise and higher resolution beyond the typical established technologies, including filtered back projection and image-based noise reduction approaches.

“Providing better information to clinicians through High Definition CT images, while at the same time reducing patient dose, has been core to our priorities,” said Steve Gray, Vice President and General Manager, Computed Tomography. “The introduction of ASiR in 2008 established GE’s leadership in this area. Our belief is that MBIR will extend our leadership in High Definition/Low dose CT imaging. We are excited to partner with leading medical institutions to investigate the performance of ultra-low dose CT scanning using MBIR.”
