GE HealthCare Launches Versana Premier Multi-Purpose Ultrasound System

GE HealthCare has launched the new Versana Premier, the latest release within the Versana ultrasound family of reliable, affordable, easy-to-use, and versatile ultrasound systems. The Versana Premier is designed to meet the multi-purpose needs of healthcare professionals across diverse clinical specialties and care areas, including general practice, OBGYN, musculoskeletal (MSK), and cardiology.
 
Versana Premier offers automation and AI-enabled productivity tools to improve workflow and clinical features designed to enhance clinical efficiency and accuracy. It delivers a friendly user experience to help clinicians meet their patient needs.
 
“The rising demand for imaging has driven the increasing use of ultrasound in primary care. Ultrasound is emerging as a key tool in these clinical settings, enabling accelerated diagnoses and improving patient outcomes and satisfaction,” Phil Rackliffe, president and CEO of Ultrasound and Image Guided Therapies, GE HealthCare told the press. “Versana Premier is equipped with advanced automated workflow and productivity tools, including educational resources, that can support these clinicians who are often the frontline of disease identification and diagnosis for their patients.”
 
Powered by VisionBoost Architecture and accompanied by high-quality probes, including XDclear technology, first-class display technology, and a new imaging engine, Versana Premier provides high-quality images at a fast speed. 
 
Users can also optimize images while scanning with Whizz, which continuously optimizes imaging in real-time, and adjust the color display with Whizz Color Flow. Other features to support clinicians in clinical decisions include OBGYN imaging tools, like Whizz RenderLive and V-Live 2.0, to capture 3D/4D imaging to follow the baby’s development.
 
“Versana Premier is remarkably user-friendly and image quality in B-Mode is easy to optimize, making it possible to create amazing images,” said Dr. Martin Altersberger, Director of Echo Laboratory, State Hospital Steyr, Austria. “The ultrasound system integrates advanced functions with optimized image quality and educational resources, which can be used in various settings. It can, therefore, adequately support clinicians in a wide range of assessments and diagnoses.”
 
The latest release of Versana Premier offers advanced features for simplified diagnostics and time savings with enhanced ergonomics, automated tools, service, and support. Clinicians can experience up to a 38% faster workflow with Whizz clinical features available on the system.
