1800-102-2977Critical Care Suite is a collection of AI algorithms embedded on X-ray systems for automated measurements, case prioritization and quality control.
Critical Care Suite 2.0*
The first on-device AI solution that helps assess Endotracheal Tube positioning
In these challenging times, every minute counts when dealing with high-risk procedures such as tracheal intubation1 and critical conditions including pneumothorax.
GE Healthcare X-ray AI Portal
Test drive the Critical Care Suite on the GE X-ray AI Portal. Upload chest X-ray images and experience the artificial intelligence algorithms online.
Endotracheal Tube Positioning*
As many as 25% of intubations outside of the operating room result in mispositioned ET Tubes, which can lead to severe complications2-6.
Critical Care Suite’s Endotracheal Tube Positioning AI algorithm is now available on AMX 240 mobile X-ray systems.
Confidence at Point of Care
- Provides an accurate and automated measurement of ET Tube position on the mobile X-ray device within seconds of image acquisition
- The vertical distance of the tube tip and the carina is automatically calculated and displayed on device.
- The average error for the ETT automated measurement is less than 1mm when calculating the vertical distance 7 .
ET Tube Cases at a Glance
- Enables immediate access to AI-derived measurements in PACS worklist via configurable DICOM® tags
- Displays AI-generated measurements with an image overlay in PACS
Pneumothorax Triage and Notification
On-device AI solution that can help triage critical conditions, such as pneumothorax, alleviating the overwhelming demand that urgent X-rays are placing on radiology teams.
The Pneumothorax Notification is included in Critical Care Suite 2.0 and is available on AMX 240 mobile X-ray systems as well as Definium™ 656 HD and Definium 646 HD fixed X-ray systems.
High Accuracy8
- Detects nearly all large pneumothoraces (96% sensitivity).
- Identifies 3 out of 4 small pneumothoraces (75% sensitivity).
- Limits false alerts (94% specificity).
- An Area Under Curve (AUC) of 0.96.
Triage Notifications
- Sends a secondary capture DICOM image to PACS and presents the AI results to the radiologist
- Image flags help enable worklist prioritization and have the potential to expedite review of critical findings

“The benefit of having the AI algorithm is ultimately better patient care. Better encompasses a number of sub-facets, the most important of which is accurate results.”

The Critical Care Suite appears a useful tool to ensure a higher level of patient care when being used by less experienced clinicians and radiographers. There have been several occasions when the warning has made staff re-evaluate images enabling them to raise the possibility of a pneumothorax earlier than might otherwise have happened. In an environment with less qualified radiographic staff the extrapolation of the number of these events could make a considerable difference to the outcomes for patients
