Summary
Sutter Health is deploying AI-powered imaging equipment across its network in a partnership with GE HealthCare aimed at enhancing access to advanced imaging technology and standardizing equipment in over 300 facilities. This initiative is expected to significantly reduce the average age of imaging equipment from over ten years to under five, facilitating faster diagnostics and better image quality. Standardization of equipment will allow technologists to work more comfortably and consistently, thereby boosting physician confidence in diagnoses. The roll-out includes upgrades in various medical imaging areas, including mammography and cardiac diagnostics, underscoring a shift towards improved technology in healthcare delivery.
