Maximise Your Clinical Benefit.

Leading Image Quality and
Dose Efficiency.
GE Innova technology has always been leading the industry in
areas of image quality and dose efficiency.
Since the introduction of Innova in the year 2000 as the world’s
very first flat panel cardiovascular system, GE has announced
several breakthroughs aimed at improving cardiovascular
procedure outcomes, safety and dose to the operator.
The system enables excellent visualisation to access even
difficult-to-reach lesions with effective interventions. The system
has been developed by listening to the voice of the customer
– the interventionist.

Optimal Size
GE was the first to introduce a truly
versatile detector for combined neuro,
angio, vascular and coronary interventions
on a single platform.
The 30 x 30 cm detector offers the optimal
resolution and image flexibility for every
procedure, with four fields of view in
fluoroscopy, record and 3D modes.
Advanced robotic collision sensing
combined with a 3 focal spot high power
x-ray tube enables faster and easier
procedures in every setting and clinical
situation.

content for computing the optimal

x-ray exposure to maximise the
contrast-to-noise in the image.
This eliminates the burn out and over exposure associated with other systems that employ a fixed
detector dose. The operator can select at the table-side the preferred Auto Ex trajectory protocol
based on physician preference or device or procedure. These can be stored as single click protocols for
personalised dose setting.
DRM is a real-time online post processing algorithm that enhances the vessel contrast and device
visibility in all viewing conditions including low-dose fluoroscopy increasingly preferred by physicians.
This eliminates image burn-out in lung fields and also dark regions on spine and diaphragm. Since DRM
operates at the image acquisition frequency, every portion of every image viewed has the optimal image
contrast.

Smart ABD
Smart ABD is a special
implementation to reduce image
blooming and optimise the image
contrast in DSA, DA and other similar
imaging situations.

With smart ABD, you get the desired

contrast in the region of interest
without burn outs. You do not need
to use external leg filters or lead
blocks anymore.
Even unsubtracted images will show both the vessel contrast and the bone information in the image,
thereby eliminating the need for subtraction in many situations.

Excellent 3D
For maximum clinical value.
GE pioneered 3D angiography in 1994 and has been the industry-leader ever since.
The Innova 3D protocol is user-friendly and produces the highest image quality in all studies. Low
dose acquisition combined with unsubtracted 3D protocol means you save time and radiation.
Automatic image reconstruction and multiplanar views which can be manipulated at the table-side
mean that the 3D acquisition is streamlined. From fluoroscopy to 3D acquisition, reconstruction and
image guidance for intervention – all accomplished very fast.

,QLWLDWH'IURPWDEOHVLGHZLWK The AW has easy menus to be selected in-room with the tableside
RQHWRXFKSURWRFRO mouse or via the workstation keyboard and mouse so that the
3D model can be analysed for optimal target angle to intervene
during coiling or stent deployment. This angle can be sent to the
gantry instantaneously so that the fluoroscopic angle is ideal for
visualisation without excessive radiation or trial and error. This
is possible with also CT and MR images as the AW is a powerful
multimodality workstation.

There is also an acquisition method for high resolution on-line, real time subtracted images acquired with continuous table motion.
The subtraction is exact even though the table movement during mask acquisition and injection run may be at different speeds as
the operator can chase the bolus using the control room hand switch. Subsequent processing includes paste option and also ROI
pixel shift corrections. The table moves continuously for better patient comfort and avoids jerks and repeat runs associated with

InnovaSenseTM
InnovaSense is a robotic patient contouring technology introduced by GE for better procedures, particularly in busy labs where
the operator wants automation and collision-free operation. The technology combines a high speed gantry with highly sensitive
capacitive collision detection and robotic movement to contour along the patient body at all times, minimising the skin distance
and also maintaining speed of angulation.

Studies have shown > 30% dose reduction* to the operator and better image quality with InnovaSense alone.
InnovaSense can be turned off for biopsy and designated procedures.
