Samsung Showcases Enhanced Portfolio @ RSNA 2024
Floor-mounted digital X-ray GF 85 and a pediatric cardiac-specific ultrasound probe 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 products of Samsung digital X-ray are certified by FDA as ‘low dose’ 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 after two years 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, includes the OmniTom Elite mobile CT® in its portfolio, useful for imaging pediatric patients at the 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 PCD® showcased this year’s at RSNA delivers high-resolution, low-noise CT imaging at the point-of-care using FDA approved PCD technology, surpassing conventional CT methods that rely on scintillators. 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.”
