Definium 656 HD is GE’s all new digital radiographic system powered by Helix™ 2.0 advanced image processing and featuring an expanded suite of workflow automation & analytics tools.
With Definium 656 HD, no more unnecessary X-ray image adjustments and repeated exams. Just sharp detail and the balanced contrast and brightness you need at low dose, right from that very first image
Helix™ 2.0 Advanced Image Processing delivers sharp detail and consistent performance in X-ray, despite variations in exposure technique and challenging exam conditions.
Today clinicians rely on standard radiography as the first diagnostic test for most chest, orthopedic and trauma cases. Advanced medical imaging is often ordered for complex cases that radiography cannot solve. These additional imaging modalities may result in higher radiation exposure, higher imaging costs, and a delay in diagnosis & treatment that could also mean more anxiety and discomfort for the patient.
VolumeRAD Digital Tomosynthesis brings 3-dimensional imaging into your radiography room, helping you resolve inconclusive x -rays "here and now" with minimal added radiation. Our cost-effective technology helps improve patient experience by providing additional information that could help make care decisions faster.
Eliminate obstructions from overlying bones, while providing additional information on calcifications in chest and abdomen studies with GE Healthcare's Dual Energy Subtraction. Delivered in the Helix™ advanced image processing chain, x-rays are more consistent despite variations in exposure technique or challenging exam conditions.
Auto Image Paste
The Definium 656 HD provides seamless long bone and spine imaging at the wall stand table. Enhanced with AutoSpine, an intelligent pasting algorithm, Auto Image Paste follows the contour of spine for vertical equalization enabling a natural balance of brightness and contrast along the patient body.
Standalone Helix™ Workstation
The standalone Helix Workstation helps support patient care by allowing technologists to process, edit and reprocess images around exam demand and without system impact.
The Helix™ workstation:
Live Streaming Camera
The Definium 656 HD with live streaming video keeps technologists eyes on the patient for a greater portion of the exam helping to monitor patient safety and potentially reduce rejects that stem from patient motion.
Extraordinary anatomical detail at low dose in every X-ray image.
Helix™ 2.0 advanced image processing algorithms harness the full high-resolution power and exceptional dose efficiency of FlashPad HD detectors to deliver outstanding clarity and extraordinary anatomical detail where it matters most.
Up to 40% improvement in detectability of fine structures1
The power of Helix™ 2.0 advanced image processing coupled with FlashPad HD improves small detail detectability by up to 40%1 thanks to ultra-high resolution and enhanced noise control.
Consistent brightness and contrast
Helix™ 2.0 with AI -driving automated brightness and contrast delivers improved consistency across variations in dose exposure with auto window width and window level enhanced contrast restoration.
Double your resolution
The FlashPad HD detectors pack four times more pixels per area for sharp X-ray images, plus they capture extraordinary anatomical detail at low dose. Available in 10 in x 12 in, 14 in x 17 in and 17 in x 17 in* standard cassette sizes.
* The 17 in x 17 in detector is currently only available on fixed systems.
