Featuring automated one-click functionality for capturing prostate volume, the AI-enabled software may help shorten workflows for prostate imaging, biopsies, and ultrasound-guided procedures.
An emerging artificial intelligence software may enable clinicians to quickly obtain automated measurements of prostate volume.
With the launch of Prostate Volume Assist, clinicians can ascertain prostate measurements and calculations with one click, according to GE HealthCare, the manufacturer of the software. The company said the Prostate Volume Assist can be beneficial with prostate imaging and ultrasound-guided procedures.
“Normally, clinicians determine prostate volume through a manual, repetitive process that requires measuring multiple dimensions and applying a mathematical formula,” said Fredrik Gran, head of innovation, surgical visualization and guidance, ultrasound at GE HealthCare. “Prostate Volume Assist uses artificial intelligence to automate this process with a single click, and yield results in less than two seconds. This technology provides an added level of support for (clinicians) to improve efficiencies in the workflow and enable precision care.”
GE HealthCare noted that Prostate Volume Assist will be accessible via the company’s bkActiv, bk3000/5000 and bkSpecto ultrasound modalities.
