Case Studies

GE’s resources combine to bring you a powerful business solution. We have provided solutions for new imaging centers, free standing, hospital affiliated and specialty facilities. Read our case studies to learn how our four step process, PLAN, EXECUTE, OPERATE, GROW, has led to success for our customers.

Planning

West Tennessee Imaging Center

West Tennessee Imaging Center. Why PACS? Why now?

"Our workload was increasing. We had inpatients on top of outpatients.
We decided that the new imaging center had to be filmless to handle the workflow."

New imaging techniques

New imaging techniques increase the diagnostic quality of MR brain studies

Edison Imaging, uses Propeller routinely in brain MR studies. “With Propeller, we always get great images. It takes patient variability out of the equation. Resolution is higher, SNR is higher, and we eliminate artifacts. It’s a win-win.”

Executing

In Harmony with Nature’s Blueprint*

In Harmony with Nature’s Blueprint*. Excellence in patient experience design

Learn how Dr. Erminia Guarneri, MD built the Scripps Center for Integrated Medicine.
“It has as its centerpiece the latest-generation GE Discovery PET/CT scanner, which enables Diagnosticians to observe metabolic function in Body organs accompanied by images of tissue And anatomical data. The goal of the Center is To identify disease – primarily cardiovascular Disease and cancer – at its earliest stage, when Intervention can provide the best outcome.”

Operating

InSite improves patient care, productivity

InSite (Remote Connectivity Platform) improves patient care, productivity for California imaging center

When equipment fails at a critical moment, InSite enables GE to diagnose and solve problems quickly—some remotely—or provide valuable repair timeline information on which to base patient rescheduling decisions.

InSite helps 28 MR imaging centers

InSite helps 28 MR imaging centers maintain communication with reading and referring doctors

When its teleradiology provider abruptly closed operations in the United States, 28 imaging centers owned by Nydic Open MRI of America faced the prospect of having to print out and courier films to radiologists to ensure next-day reading and reporting. It never came to that, thanks to InSite™ digital services from GE Healthcare.

Growing

Delivering the Highest Quality MR to Attract Referrals

Increasing throughput, protecting image quality

Increasing throughput, protecting image quality

Laurel Highlands MRI, in Johnstown, PA., performs a broad spectrum of MR studies: spinal, neuro, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, abdominal, pelvic and angiography. The center’s philosophy is to invest in leading-edge MR technology that delivers the highest-quality images at fast scanning speeds while accommodating new technology as it becomes available.
