The company noted the FDA-cleared ultrasound device also provides AI-powered automated labeling for transabdominal ultrasound views as well as volume calculations. For OBGYN imaging, GE HealthCare said the Versana Premier features Whizz RenderLive and V-Live 2.0 enable clinicians to obtain 3D and 4D imaging of fetal development.
“Versana Premier is remarkably user-friendly and image quality in B-Mode is easy to optimize, making it possible to create amazing images," said Martin Altersberger, M.D., the director of the Echo Laboratory at State Hospital Steyr in Steyr, Austria. "The ultrasound system integrates advanced functions with optimized image quality and educational resources, which can be used in various settings. It can, therefore, adequately support clinicians in a wide range of assessments and diagnoses.”
