“With Intuitive’s Ion Robotic Bronchoscopy System now verified to interface with GE HealthCare’s OEC 3D through the OEC Open interface, I believe we can now reach and diagnose almost any nodule in the lung ,” shares Dr. Dominique Pepper, Medical Director of Bronchoscopy and Respiratory Care, Providence Swedish South Puget Sound.[1] “This is a game-changer for clinicians - this can help us confidently and accurately provide answers when we see a suspicious area of interest.”
“As we continue to build out our OEC ecosystem, GE HealthCare is excited about the addition of the Intuitive Ion robotic system to our OEC Open interface,” shares Christian O’Connor – Global General Manager for Surgery at GE HealthCare. “This interface provides interventional pulmonologists using the OEC 3D C-arm a seamless experience during minimally invasive, robotic-assisted bronchoscopy procedures. Furthermore, this collaboration also signifies our continued commitment to enabling surgeons access to the latest technologies to support them in providing exceptional patient care."

These latest additions build on the company’s continuous innovation of the OEC C-arm portfolio to support clinicians in their efforts to help improve the diagnosis, treatment, and overall outcomes of their patients.
More about OEC 3D: First introduced in 2021, the OEC 3D mobile CBCT C-arm provides precise 3D and 2D imaging every day in a broad variety of procedures. During bronchoscopy procedures, clinicians can leverage CBCT visualization features, such as Lung Preset, to help optimize viewing of airway structures and Augmented Fluoroscopy with Lung Suite to help confirm tool-in-lesion during a procedure. While delivering exceptional image quality, the OEC 3D also enables seamless transition from 3D to 2D imaging through one versatile mobile CBCT imaging C-arm with an intuitive user interface and workflow to help further optimize space in the bronchoscopy suite.
