New enhancements for the Venue POCUS devices include automated labeling of anatomical landmarks with Nerveblox to facilitate 12 common peripheral nerve blocks and contrast-enhanced ultrasound geared to abdominal injury assessments.

Enhanced assessment tools for myocardial strain, urinary bladder volume and contrast-enhanced abdominal views are among the new features for the updated Venue point-of-care (POCUS) ultrasound systems from GE HealthCare.

The company said the Automated Function Imaging feature enables objective evaluation of myocardial strain and Nerveblox™ provides automated anatomical labeling to streamline 12 common peripheral nerve blocks.

Other key attributes of the updated Venue POCUS devices include dynamic contrast-enhanced assessments for abdominal lesions and injuries, and the Auto Bladder Volume feature, which facilitates simplified measurement of urinary bladder volume, according to GE HealthCare.

“Our ultrasound portfolio is continuously evolving to meet the dynamic needs of clinicians, and we’re committed to driving innovation that makes our solutions more versatile, adaptable, and impactful,” noted Karley Yoder, the CEO of comprehensive care ultrasound, advanced visualization solutions at GE HealthCare.
