GE Healthcare announced introduction of Innova Dose Reports for Innova interventional X-ray systems

GE Healthcare has launched its Innova Dose Reports for centers that operate the company’s Innova interventional X-ray systems.  This innovative GE service harnesses the system’s InSite™ broadband connection to GE to remotely collect critical information on procedure utilization, views, dose usage per procedure and dose utilization trends during a given month.  Information collected via InSite is subsequently combined in a comprehensive report and delivered directly to the customer. Innova Dose Reports also provide the customer with a notification when total dose exceeds their prescribed threshold to support post-procedure activities. This is especially important as interventional procedures grow in complexity and length, making attention to dose a more urgent requirement.

According to Stephen Balter, Ph.D., Medical Physicist at Columbia University Medical Center, and Chairman of NCRP Committee 3-2: Safety in Interventional Fluoroscopy,  “Innova Dose Reports satisfy the need for specific procedure dose details and visibility of dose usage through the month, giving clinicians awareness of the total radiation exposure.”

Customers can purchase Innova Dose Reports during their system warranty period or as part of an annual service agreement.
