GE Healthcare Uses AI Technology to Improve Access to Medical Imaging Diagnosis for Rural Health Centers
4 PagesGE Healthcare’s Versana Premier ultrasound system, built with Intel’s OpenVINO toolkit, uses AI to expand access to high-quality imaging in underserved regions. The device integrates AI-based features like Whizz Label, which automatically identifies and labels organs such as the liver, kidney, and gallbladder, reducing training needs and error rates. Optimized for portability and efficiency, it improves real-time image quality without costly hardware accelerators. Performance testing showed a 5x boost in AI inference speed with OpenVINO versus TensorFlow. For rural clinics lacking specialists, Versana Premier enhances diagnostic capacity, lowers barriers to use, and supports broader healthcare equity.
