Next-Generation Ultrasound Platform Enhances Clinical Automation

GE HealthCare has introduced the latest generation of its LOGIQ general imaging ultrasound portfolio, designed to improve diagnostic consistency, automate routine tasks, and integrate third-party tools within a connected digital environment. The systems will be presented at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR), March 4–7, 2026, in Vienna.

Portfolio Update for Full-Body Ultrasound
The updated LOGIQ E10 Series, LOGIQ Fortis, and LOGIQ Totus systems incorporate Verisound Digital architecture and AI-supported automation to address growing imaging volumes and workflow constraints in radiology and general imaging departments. The portfolio is intended for multi-application use, including abdominal, vascular, musculoskeletal, and small-parts imaging.

Ultrasound remains a primary modality for first-line diagnostic evaluation because of its accessibility, absence of ionizing radiation, and real-time imaging capability. In high-throughput environments, efficiency gains and standardized workflows have become increasingly important. GE HealthCare reports that the new systems combine expanded transducer options—including specialty, multi-purpose, and wireless probes such as Vscan Air—with updated imaging and automation features to support diagnostic precision.

Quantitative Liver Assessment Tools
Liver disease represents a significant and growing global health burden. Approximately 40% of the global population is affected by fatty liver disease, which remains frequently underdiagnosed. As metabolic dysfunction–associated fatty liver disease increases, reproducible and quantitative evaluation methods are required for disease staging and monitoring.

The updated LOGIQ systems introduce Ultrasound-Guided Fat Fraction (UGFF), a tool designed to quantify liver fat content and support longitudinal assessment. By enabling more consistent measurements of hepatic fat burden, UGFF is intended to assist clinicians in determining disease severity and monitoring progression, supporting earlier intervention strategies.

Ultrasound’s role in liver imaging extends beyond detection to procedural guidance and follow-up evaluation, making quantitative enhancements relevant for hepatology, gastroenterology, and radiology practices.

AI-Supported Workflow Acceleration
To address workflow efficiency, the new LOGIQ portfolio incorporates AI-based anatomical recognition and automated measurement tools.

When combined with Scan Assistant, these tools supported up to 65% faster measurements and 80% fewer system interactions compared with conventional manual workflows, according to company data. Automation of anatomy detection and segmentation aims to reduce operator variability and improve reproducibility, particularly in high-volume abdominal examinations.

Such automation is particularly relevant in departments facing staffing constraints and increasing demand for imaging services, where standardized protocols and reduced keystrokes can contribute to improved throughput.

Open Digital Platform and Connected Workflows
The expansion of the LOGIQ open digital platform allows integration of third-party applications alongside Verisound Digital tools. The platform architecture supports access to AI-based applications directly on the scanner and integrates on-scanner ViewPoint reporting for structured documentation.

This integration is intended to enable more connected workflows across imaging departments, supporting consistent reporting and facilitating data-driven clinical decision-making. By allowing system customization and third-party software access, the platform aligns with broader healthcare trends toward interoperable ecosystems and digitally connected imaging environments.

Presentation at ECR 2026
GE HealthCare will present the updated LOGIQ E10 Series, LOGIQ Fortis, and LOGIQ Totus systems at the European Congress of Radiology, held March 4–7, 2026, in Vienna. The showcase will highlight advancements in quantitative ultrasound, AI-assisted automation, and digital platform integration for full-body imaging applications.

Through the combination of measurable workflow improvements, quantitative liver assessment tools, and an expanded open digital platform, the new LOGIQ portfolio targets greater diagnostic consistency and operational efficiency in general imaging practice.
