Sonic DL: See the full picture in 3D
Sonic DL™ has evolved to offer rapid volumetric imaging across multiple patient groups, meaning the majority of MR exams can now be effortlessly accelerated. And it doesn’t stop there. New compatibility with AIR Recon DL lets you achieve pin-sharp images in a fraction of the time. Imagine dramatic improvements across scan times, patient backlogs, and diagnostic accuracy — meaning more satisfied patients are getting the answers they need, sooner. Envision the possibilities for improved department productivity, increased revenue, and reduced work burden for your staff — an altogether better upgrade, for everyone.
Why choose Sonic DL?

Harness deep learning for acceleration and diagnostic value with Sonic DL.

Expanding access to 3D imaging

Sonic DL has expanded far beyond cardiac to enable rapid 3D MR imaging in brain, spine, musculoskeletal (MSK) and body anatomies, together accounting for over 75%² of MR exams. Effortlessly capture high-quality volumetric images of your highest-volume patient groups. Sonic DL is available in a variety of implementations, compatible with SIGNA™ 1.5T, 3T, and 7T MRI systems⁴ — allowing seamless workflow across healthcare facilities.

Workflow with less effort

With the option to accelerate MR image acquisition up to 12x³ and reduce scan times by up to 86%⁴, imagine the vast possibilities for improving your department’s productivity. You could improve patient throughput and backlogs, regaining precious time in an over-burdened work environment. Furthermore, Sonic DL replaces conventional acceleration techniques, such as parallel imaging and compressed sensing, with a simple, seamless workflow, by removing interdependencies with hardware configurations, coil selections, and user variabilities.

Innovation in a flash

MR imaging has long been considered a difficult technology within which to produce consistently high image quality exams due to the complexity of the physics. However, as leaders in the AI innovation market, GE HealthCare promised to deliver new deep-learning solutions for Effortless Imaging. First with AIR Recon DL’s image sharpening capabilities, and then with Sonic DL, which substantially accelerates scan times using two innovative techniques: tuned under-sampling – dramatically reducing the quantity of data required, and deep-learning AI technology, which provides advanced MR imaging reconstruction through its algorithm. The powerful union of both AIR Recon DL and Sonic DL into one seamless workflow can generate pin-sharp images in a fraction of the time.
