"The sharpness of the images is a breakthrough development in image reconstruction algorithms. We see details that we have never seen before. Abdominal, lung and cardiac imaging benefits most from this technology. I am mainly interested in cardiac and cardiovascular imaging. We found much better image quality, depiction of details, and image sharpness for cardiac valves, sclerotic and soft plaque in cardiac and extracardiac vessels, as well as fewer artifacts around stents and stent-grafts. DECT for pulmonary embolism easily convinced everybody in our department." — Prof. Klaus Hergan, University Hospital Salzburg, Austria Department of Radiology of the 1200-bed University Hospital Salzburg[xi]

Precision DL (PET/CT) enhances image quality in PET/CT scans, providing clinicians with a powerful solution to aid in precise diagnoses, treatment planning and monitoring with the image quality performance benefits typically associated with hardware-based Time-of-Flight (ToF) reconstruction, without compromising sensitivity, including improved contrast-to-noise ratio, contrast recovery,[xii] and quantitative accuracy.[xiii]


AIR Recon DL (MR and PET/MR) helps improve image sharpness and enables reduced exam times by up to 50% without compromising image quality.[xiv] These features help to enhance workflow efficiency and productivity for healthcare professionals, reduce the need for repeat scans, enable faster diagnoses, and enhance patient experience. With expansion from 2D to 3D and PROPELLER imaging sequences, AIR Recon DL expands to nearly all MRI clinical procedures, covering all anatomies.

“The image quality. The scan times, again, probably the biggest revolution we’ve seen in the MRI field in a long time, and I’ve been doing this a long time.” –Tom Schrack, BS, ARMRIT, CS Manager of MR Education and Technical Development Fairfield Radiological Consultants, USA[xi]

Sonic DL (MR), available since 2023, enables cardiac imaging within a single heartbeat, scanning up to 12 times faster compared to conventional methods,[xv] enabling rapid cardiac MR functional imaging to match the speed of MRI to the speed of physiology. This minimizes or removes the need for repetitive patient breath holds, simplifying procedures and expanding the pool of patients eligible for cardiac MRI to include arrhythmic patients and those with difficulty holding their breath. At RSNA 2024, GE HealthCare unveiled Sonic DL for 3D[v] that will broaden its applicability beyond cardiac.
