Intelligent Ultrasound Group plc announced that GE Healthcare has launched SonoLyst live onto its latest version of the Voluson Expert Series portfolio of ultrasound machines. Powered by Intelligent Ultrasound's ScanNav AI software, SonoLyst live takes ultrasound image recognition to the next level by automatically capturing images in real-time, as the clinician scans a mid-trimester patient. Using practice guidelines from the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG), the AI software automatically recognises the anatomy, captures the image and checks it off the list of required views.

By minimising the need to manually freeze, annotate and store images, the software significantly reduces keystrokes and exam time for sonographers. This new technology further builds on Intelligent Ultrasound's long-term partnership agreement with GE HealthCare, which already incorporated Intelligent Ultrasound's AI technology as an option add-on in its SonoLyst X/IR software on the Voluson Expert 22 and SWIFT ultrasound machines. SonoLyst live was demonstrated live at the International Symposium on Fetal Anomalies in London, on the 9 and 10 September by Prof Aris Papageorghiou.

The full launch will take place at the ISUOG World Congress in Seoul, South Korea from the 16-19 October.
