At the recent ECR 2019 technical exhibition in Vienna, the big news was the
advancement in artificial intelligence software. Many CT booth presentations were
focused on AI, and no doubt it will be the trend in the upcoming year. Here are some of the
AI developments by the biggest names in medical imaging.

GE Healthcare featured a new addition to its Revolution line of CT scanners.
Revolution Apex is a next-generation intelligent CT Scanner. It used GE’s Edison
deep-learning image reconstruction algorithm to create True Fidelity images with
high spatial resolution and coverage and spectral capability. It can deliver whole-
organ coverage for most patients, including those with high body mass index,
elevated heart rates, compromised renal function and other conditions. Apex
create high resolution images along with low radiation doses during scanning.

Siemens Healthineers highlighted its AI-Rad Companion Chest CT at the show. It’s
a software assistant for radiology powered by IT technology and is the company’s
first application capable of using AI algorithms to differentiate individual
structures on chest CT scans automatically. It can detect lung lesions, determine
cardiovascular risk based on CT coronary artery calcification, measure the
diameter of the aorta and segment individual spinal vertebrae for bone density
and fracture analysis. Best of all, the application can generate a standardized
quantitative report of data automatically. AI-Rad Companion Chest CT performs a
systematic and equal examination of all areas of the chest. It can find lesions in
regions that the reader may not have made a priority, as well. The product can
be incorporated into clinical workflows. All scans and supporting data are
automatically available in PACS through Siemen’s cloud-based teamplay
infrastructure, as well.

Canon Medical Systems introduced its Advanced Intelligent Clear-IQ Engine deep
learning-based image reconstruction technique at the conference. It can
reconstruct low-quality, low dose CT data into high quality images. When AI is
applied to CT reconstruction, it allows about the same level of low radiation dose
as conventional CRT scans without compromising final image quality. It’s
compatible with the Aquilion One Genesis CT and Aquilion Precision ultrahigh-
resolution CT scanners use of low radiation dose. When combined with AiCE, the
systems enable high spatial resolution CT scan reconstruction that’s 3-5 times
faster than using model-based iterative reconstruction.

The IQon Elite spectral CT scanner was in the spotlight for Philips Healthcare.
Studies have shown the technology’s capacity to increase hospital workflow
efficiency by reducing the occurrence of follow-up scanning, lowering the levels
of contrast agent and x-ray radiation dose and accelerating the time to diagnose.
Hitachi, Carestream Health and Fujifilm Medical Systems also featured
technology that used AI algorithms at the conference.
