SEOUL, Korea - December 2, 2024 - Samsung Electronics Health and Medical
Equipment Business and Samsung Medison participated in the 2024 Radiological
Society of North America (RSNA) conference in Chicago, United States, from
December 1st to 5th (local time) and unveiling an even more diverse product
lineup.
Floor-mounted digital X-ray GF 85 and a pediatric cardiac-specific
ultrasound probe was
unveiled for the first time
Samsung Electronics Health and Medical Equipment Business and Samsung Medison
participated in the 2024 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA)
conference in Chicago, United States, from December 1st to 5th (local time)
and unveiling an even more diverse product lineup.
To strengthen its competitiveness across medical specialties, after the launch
of a new OB & GYN ultrasound diagnostic system, HERA Z20, Samsung proposed
‘pediatric integrated solution’ encompassing the entire range of its medical
diagnostic devices through this RSNA.
In the ‘Ultrasound Zone,’ a dedicated probe for the pediatric cardiac
diagnosis ‘TA2-9’ was unveiled for the first time at this exhibition. The
TA2-9 with 42% smaller head than adult echocardiography probe aids in more
accurate diagnosis for congenital heart disease or functional and structural
abnormalities of heart through the oral route. Also on display was ‘L3-22’, a
dedicated neonatal probe featuring a smaller head compared to an adult version
offering a wide frequency range which enables pediatric body scan with a
single device without the need to switch probes.
All US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) cleared products of Samsung
digital X-ray have ‘low dose’ capability making it more appropriate for
diagnosis of children and adolescents where safety is particularly
prioritized. Samsung's proprietary S-Vue™ imaging engine reduces radiation
exposure by up to 50% compared to systems without this technology.
At this exhibition, Samsung launched a new ‘floor-mounted’ digital X-ray, GF
85. The new digital X-ray, GF 85 launched by Samsung is relatively affordable
compared to ceiling-mounted type and cost-effective with the ability to be
installed in a small space without ceiling construction. Moreover, it provides
clear image quality even with low dose and is equipped with advanced AI
diagnostic assistance feature, fully inheriting all the advantages of previous
digital X-ray models.
NeuroLogica Corp, a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., includes the
OmniTom Elite mobile computed tomography (CT) in its portfolio, useful for
imaging pediatric patients and at point-of-care, facilitating rapid clinical
decision making and reducing transport related risks. Mobile CT is already
recognized for its utility, with 8 out of the top 10 U.S. pediatric hospitals
(as ranked by
U.S. News for 2024-2025) utilizing the technology.
NeuroLogica’s OmniTom Elite with photon counting detector (PCD) technology
showcased this year’s at RSNA delivers ultra high-resolution CT imaging at the
point-of-care using FDA 510(k) cleared PCD technology, surpassing conventional
CT methods that rely on energy integrating detectors. By utilizing photon
counting detectors to measure the energy of each individual photon, this
cutting-edge technology enhances contrast differentiation and virtual
monoenergetic imaging, empowering radiologists with greater confidence in
diagnosing patients.
Samsung provides opportunity to gain clinical application tips of Samsung
medical devices and engage in Q&A with the global experts through Lunch
& Learn session. In this session, a global breast imaging expert, Dr. Nina
Vincoff shared a screening program using Samsung breast ultrasound solution,
and the latest insights on the FDA’s mandate for breast density information
provision and implementation of additional imaging examination recommendation
for dense breast (effective on September 10, 2024).
Dr. Farhad Farzanegan in Kasier Permanente South Sacramento health system U.S.
presented a case study on hospital workflow improvement based on the result of
CT intervention procedure using Samsung mobile full-body CT, BodyTom
In the booth, Dr. Jon Jacobson, a musculoskeletal radiology expert, conducted
live scan using a premium ultrasound diagnostic device, RS85 Prestige
introducing clearer image quality and more sophisticated AI diagnostic
assistance feature.
The leader of the Samsung Medison AI&Informatics group, Vijay, said “I
discovered a greater potential through high praises from medical professors
around the world who visited the site” and “Moving forward, we aim to further
enhance our AI diagnostic support features tailored to specialized medical
fields, solidify our technological leadership in radiology and obstetrics, and
expand our competitiveness across all medical disciplines to pioneer new
markets.”
