GE plans to advance cancer diagnostic technologies

GE Healthcare vice president and CTO Mike Harsh said the only way they can facilitate clinicians to eradicate cancer is to provide them the tools to find it earlier, stage it better, and quantitatively measure response to therapy.

"The integration of GE Healthcare’s expertise in imaging, analytics, diagnostics, cellular analysis, and healthcare IT is helping create technologies and solutions that can be used in a rural developing country or in a modern urban hospital," Harsh said.

GE Healthcare will use the investment to develop new oncology solutions and advanced technologies and to perform research in some areas which are already in progress including new biomarkers, cancer research, connected oncology workflow, hyperpolarizer, molecular pathology.
