GE HealthCare integrates bkActiv ultrasound with Medtronic Stealth AXiS for real-time cranial surgery navigation

GE HealthCare has announced a digital integration between its bkActiv intraoperative ultrasound system and Medtronic's Stealth AXiS surgical navigation system, now commercially available for cranial procedures. The integration allows neurosurgeons to use bkActiv as a plug-and-play real-time visualisation solution during procedures. The system addresses "brain shift", a natural movement of the brain during surgery that reduces pre-surgical image accuracy. bkActiv provides live ultrasound images alongside pre-operative MRI or CT scans on the Stealth AXiS system, recently cleared by the FDA for cranial procedures in the United States. Features include sterilisable transducers, sensitive colour Doppler for blood flow visualisation, and remote control capability from the sterile field. The companies will showcase the integration at the American Association of Neurological Surgeons Annual Scientific Meeting in May 2026.

GE HealthCare's photon-counting CT Photonova Spectra receives FDA clearance

GE HealthCare has received FDA 510(k) clearance for Photonova Spectra, a photon-counting computed tomography system powered by its Deep Silicon detector technology. The system directly counts individual photons and measures their energy, enabling higher spectral and spatial resolution compared to conventional CT systems that first convert X-rays into visible light. Photonova Spectra features 8-bin energy resolution, wide detector coverage and rapid 0.23-second rotation speed, supporting fast acquisition and detailed visualisation across multiple clinical specialties. The system automatically captures spectral and ultra-high definition spatial data simultaneously without requiring special protocols. The technology incorporates NVIDIA accelerated computing to process up to 50 times more data than conventional CT systems. GE HealthCare is collaborating with institutions including UW-Madison and Stanford Medicine to explore clinical applications and imaging protocols.
