Overview

Time for a (Re)vision.

The Innova IGS 520 is a fully integrated imaging system that pairs with our new optional Large Display Monitor to offer a range of clinical needs and diagnostic imaging with excellent image quality, extensive real-time processing, innovative dose management, ease of positioning, and improved workflow. Its 20-cm square digital panel images enough anatomy that you won’t lose excessive field size from geometric magnification. 

Structural Heart

Structural heart procedures are quickly being adopted by physicians in the Cath Lab. Our wide range of Interventional Cardiology offerings is designed to help physicians in this emerging procedure and spans a large care portfolio. See how we can help you plan, guide and assess interventions.  

Plan
Guide
Assess
Understand patient anatomy and plan the case with appropriate sizing and optimal angulation. Use visualization techniques to locate the region of interest and deliver planned therapy. Quickly determine success of therapy delivery to region of interest.
Innova 3D helps enable acquisition & reconstruction of 3D anatomy quickly in the lab for structural heart procedures. Advantage Workstation* uses CT images and a dedicated protocol on the AW Premium so a physician can assess the aorta, its diameter and its pathology. Innova HeartVision with ECG synchronization and image stabilization: Helps you navigate clearly in complex anatomy, fuse in real time 2D fluoroscopy with 3D anatomy from CT, MR, or X-ray datasets and help support device localization and guidance during procedure. Innova 3D enables acquisition & reconstruction of 3D anatomy quickly in the lab for TAVR. InnovaSpin offers fast, spin rotational angiography which allows you to see the aortic root and anatomy to check for regurgitation and coronary flow.

Benefits

DoseSense

DoseSense provides the clinical image quality you need to help make confident decisions during interventional procedures, while helping you reduce radiation exposure to both you and your patients.

DoseSense is built on three key technology pillars:

  • Dose efficiency technology
  • Dose management tools
  • Dose reduction feature

Working together, the three pillars help to deliver:    

  • Exceptional Imaging Dose Efficiency1
  • Automated dose-management tools that improve exposure control, personalize dose, and generate dose reports

Learn more about GE Healthcare's commitment to lowering radiation exposure levels and raising knowledge levels.

1. In clinical use, the results of the application of dose reduction techniques will vary depending on the clinical task, patient size, anatomical location and clinical practice. The Intended Operator (eg.Interventional Radiologist), assisted by a physicist as necessary has to determine the appropriate settings for each specific clinical task.

Interventional Cardiology

Clinical Versatility Without Compromise

The Image Guided System (IGS) can be paired with our new large display monitor to offer a range of clinical needs and diagnostic imaging with excellent image quality, extensive real-time processing, innovative dose management, ease of position, and improved workflow.

Size it. See it. Simple.

Innova* with Stent Technologies – including Innova OneTouchQA Tableside for QCA/Stenosis Analysis and StentViz – simplifies lesion assessment and provides exceptional stent visualization, with easy, one-button activation. Combined with GE’s excellent image quality and Integrated Innova – s5i** system option (IVUS), Stent Technologies give physicians a valuable visualization toolkit for PCI procedures.

Image Quality

Excellent Image Quality with Dose Efficiency

Detector Design

Built to our stringent quality standards, under our full manufacturing control, the Innova detector is the only single-piece flat panel digital detector in the industry. Its reliability is remarkable. Its image quality, dose efficiency, and clinical utility – exceptional.

Wide Dynamic Range

The detector is able to translate a wide range of X-ray exposure intensities into digital signals without saturation. Proprietary Dynamic Range Management image processing is used to transform this wide range of information for display without loss of detail over anatomical densities.

Tools and Strategies for Dose Efficiency

  • Pre-set protocols customized by facility, procedures and even specific physicians.
  • Dose and angulation personalization protocols.
  • Optimized detector position close to the patient.
  • Customized fluoroscopy settings for low radiation dose with high image quality.
  • Magnification without increasing dose.
  • Specific packages to address Dose/Image quality per procedure.
  • Fast processing to view and manipulate high quality imagery for efficient procedures and lower dose.
  • Built-in dose reduction features:
    • Lower frame rate to reduce dose.
    • Stores the last 450 fluoro images to avoid additional exposure.
    • Monitor cumulative dose with real-time dosimetric information.

Workflow

As flexible as it is powerful.

From the moment patients are admitted, through diagnosis, treatment, and billing software, we support your efficiency and help you provide exceptional quality of care.

Help improve workflow with the bi-directional interface between Innova and Mac-Lab (or your own recording system). Enable comprehensive reporting with Image Capture and Advanced Workstation Image Management to include patients’ X-ray images with their procedural data.

Innova* IVUS - Only from GE

  • With Integrated Innova – s5i** (IVUS) system option, simply plug in a catheter and begin imaging. IVUS is always on and always ready.
  • An IVUS button on the Innova Central touch screen is always right at your fingertips. 
  • IVUS images are simultaneously displayed on the Innova monitor boom and additional monitors if desired.
  • Active patient data from Innova is automatically transferred to the IVUS system – no need to retype patient information.
  • Automated archiving allows for easy patient review, as all images are saved under the same DICOM** ID as the angio case.
  • Incorporation of IVUS into the central physician control point allows for faster and enhanced workflow.

Our large display monitor: Based on a large number of pre-defined layouts, see what you want. When you want it.

You can zoom to individual screen to keep the focus on your area of interest, switch layouts during procedures and bring up different screens depending on where you are at during the case. You can also record sequences for training, teaching, and presentations as an option.  With improved procedural workflow, the IGS 520 helps you put your focus where it belongs – on the patient. 

  • 8-megapixels resolution with 56 inch diameter display.
  • Consolidate images from multiple sources.
  • Zoom in to enlarge fine detail.
