GE HealthCare drives innovation in theranostics with latest technological advances
-
GE HealthCare is helping advance clinical and operational excellence in theranostics and molecular imaging through a comprehensive portfolio of AI-powered imaging technologies, radiopharmaceuticals, cyclotrons, chemistry systems, and workflow-optimizing software—designed to support personalized, data-driven care across the entire patient journey. - At #SNMMI25, the company is proud to introduce LesionID™ Pro with automated zero-click pre-processing,i which aims to help physicians minimize manual segmentation required to access patient-specific insights that can play a key role in delivering precision care with confidence.
With cancer accounting for over 10 million deaths globally each year,ii the rise of precision care – particularly theranostics – is offering new hope to patients. By combining advanced diagnostic imaging and radiopharmaceuticals with targeted therapies, theranostics enables a personalized, patient-centric approach that may help improve disease detection, treatment accuracy, and overall quality of life.
“Precision care is the future of oncology—and theranostics is at the heart of that future. The integration of advanced imaging and AI-powered software is accelerating the adoption of theranostics in clinical practice,” shares
Central to the practice of theranostics is molecular imaging, such as positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), which provides detailed, patient-specific insights to guide and monitor treatment. However, accessing these insights – like whole-body tumor burden, which represents the total amount of cancer is in the body – has traditionally required time-consuming manual analysis, resulting in clinical and operational challenges.
In response, GE HealthCare’s
In addition to turning manual pre-processing into a zero-click experience, this new version of LesionID Pro comes with significant algorithm improvements that provide physicians with a precise whole-body tumor volume to review and finalize. Intuitive, user-friendly tools were intentionally designed with input from leading theranostics practitioners with the ultimate goal of making whole-body tumor burden analysis a practical clinical reality and help shorten physicians’ time-to-report.
“At GE HealthCare, we are dedicated to providing clinicians the precision care tools needed for the adoption and practice of theranostics,” shares
Also on display at #SNMMI25, as part of GE HealthCare’s comprehensive portfolio of theranostics-enabling solutions for clinical and operational excellence, are the following innovations:
- MINItrace Magni,iii GE HealthCare’s newest cyclotron technology, designed with a small footprint (about the size of a commercial refrigerator) and the goal of providing an easy-to-site, easy-to-install solution for the reliable, in-house production of commercial PET tracers and radiometals, including Gallium-68, used in diagnostic imaging to support personalized care plans. Adoption of such easy-to-site, easy-to-install technology may help enhance the capabilities of the healthcare system but also grant clinicians the ability to offer a variety of tracers to their patients and encourage the practice of precision care locally, helping fuel inhouse Theranostics capabilities.

Omni Legend is a performance-focused PET/CT designed to evolve and help meet growing healthcare system demands by enabling clinicians to reduce dose by up to 40%iv while maintaining exceptional image quality. Supportive of the diagnostic portion of theranostics, the system continues to gain in popularity, representing the company’s fastest-ever-selling PET/CT.v - StarGuide is a digital SPECT/CT with a 12 CZT detector design that delivers high-quality 3D images and short scan times. Optimized for certain theranostic procedures, the system is designed to help clinicians pinpoint the size, shape, and position of lesions and monitor therapy with exceptional precision. Its flexibility in patient scanning and workflow efficiencies also support high patient throughput and help reduce complexity. For oncology patients, especially those in pain, short scans can help enhance comfort and overall experience.
- Aurora is an advanced dual-head SPECT/CT designed with excellent diagnostic capabilitiesvi and streamline workflows, offering clinicians excellent image quality and operational efficiency. Its CT has a 40 mm detector – twice the detector coverage compared to CTs of other hybrid systemsvii – with the ability to reduce the dose up to 82%,viii support accurate quantitation, and help clinicians make the personalized care decisions that are at the heart of theranostics.

Theranostics Pathway Manager Tile is an easy-to-use application, available on GE HealthCare’s Command Center software, that is designed to simplify the time-consuming task of coordinating the theranostics care pathway. It does so by tracking patient readiness for therapy, eliminating the need for manual data gathering across disparate systems (e.g., labs, scheduling, ordering, spreadsheets), and providing a unified, up-to-date view of each patient’s treatment journey.
Oregon Health & Science University will be an early adopter.
“Every day counts when it comes to cancer care. The latest theranostics solutions will help our care teams more quickly and easily keep tabs on patient readiness and reduce patient coordination time—freeing up more time for clinicians to focus on direct patient care,” says

viii b In clinical practice, the use of ASiR‐V may reduce CT patient dose depending on the clinical task, patient size, anatomical location, and clinical practice. A consultation with a radiologist and a physicist should be made to determine the appropriate dose to obtain diagnostic image quality for the particular clinical task. Low Contrast Detectability (LCD), Image Noise, Spatial Resolution and Artifact were assessed using reference factory protocols comparing ASiR‐V and FBP. The LCD was measured using 0.625 mm slices and tested for both head and body modes using the MITA CT IQ Phantom (CCT183,
