Fast facts
- 64% of IO procedures are targeting the Liver.1
GE solutions address endovascular & ablative care with diversified solutions. - GE Liver Care portfolio allows 3D imaging to potentially more than 95% of the world’s adult population (aged 15 to 100)9 thanks to the Discovery IGS 7, one of the widest bore on the market today.
- Physicians estimate that up to 40%10 of Cone Beam CT acquisitions are unusable due to involuntary respiratory motion artifacts. Motion Freeze can help salvage Cone Beam CT acquisitions by refining and increasing small contrasted structures in Cone Beam CT images.4
- Liver ASSIST is the only software solution able to demonstrate ~68% complete tumor response rate (vs. 36% with DSA alone).14
- In up to 81% of HCC lesions treated by TACE, Cone Beam CT provides 3D information
that aids in:12
-Lesion detection
-Catheter navigation
-Assessment of technical success of treatment delivery. - Liver ASSIST improves the sensitivity of tumor vessels identification versus the use of either DSA or Cone Beam CT alone, by up to
97%.11, 12, 13 - Facilitate access to automatic fusion between ultrasound and 3D pre-operative images for needle based procedures and leverage radiation-free modality in your angio suite with INTERACT Active Tracker.

3. Discovery IGS 7 is not available in all markets. Refer to your sales representative.
4. Motion Freeze may not be available in all markets. Refer to your sales representative. The improvement related to Motion Freeze depends on the acquisition conditions, table position, patient, type of motion, anatomical location and clinical practice. Motion Freeze is an optional feature of 3DXR (part of GE Interventional systems Innova IGS 5, Innova IGS 6 and Discovery IGS 7 or Discovery IGS 7OR). 3DXR may not be available in all markets. Refer to your sales representative.
4a. Based on competitive research, among major players in interventional imaging.
5. Liver ASSIST solution includes Hepatic VCAR and FlightPlan for Liver that can be used independently. It also requires an AW workstation with Volume Viewer and Volume Viewer Innova. These applications are sold separately.
6. INTERACT Active Tracker is an optional feature of 3DXR (part of GE Interventional systems Innova IGS 5, Innova IGS 6 and Discovery IGS 7 or Discovery IGS 7OR). This feature supports only one ‘Active Tracker’ type: the OmniTRAX™ Active Patient Tracker of CIVCO™. 3DXR and INTERACT Active Tracker may not be available in all markets. Refer to your sales representative.
7. Requires availability of a LOGIQ E9 or LOGIQ E10 system with XDclear (sold separately).
8. Needle ASSIST solution includes TrackVision 2, Stereo 3D and requires AW workstation with Volume Viewer, Volume Viewer Innova. These applications are sold separately.
