February 15 marks International Childhood Cancer Day, a date created in 2002 by Childhood Cancer International (CCI) that symbolizes a global campaign to raise awareness about the disease that, every three minutes, kills a child in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO), through the Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer, places the fight against childhood cancer as a priority and plans to achieve a survival rate of at least 60% by 2030, double the rate of current cure, potentially saving the lives of over a million children over the next ten years.

Exercising its leading role in the diagnostic imaging segment, Samsung takes the opportunity to promote technologies present in its portfolio of its HME division, exclusively focused on health solutions. “All the technologies developed by Samsung are great allies for health professionals who seek to make more assertive diagnoses of different types of cancer, including those incident in children and adolescents”, says Walter Brandstetter, clinical manager of the HME division of Samsung Brazil.

Artificial Intelligence resources for health

Among the examples of innovation in the area, Samsung makes use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) resources in devices already available on the market that can lead to even more significant advances. Some ultrasound system devices, such as the RS85 model, use image fusion and are able to unite the results of an MRI with the real-time visualization of the ultrasound system to generate greater accuracy in the biopsies.

The equipment, as well as its new technologies, have proven to be increasingly valuable allies for the well-being of the population, helping in prevention, screening and early diagnosis, in addition to contributing to health in childhood and in all other stages of the life cycle. of people’s lives. The HERA W10, HERA W9 and HS40 models, for example, help obstetrics and gynecology specialists to obtain more reliable and accurate diagnoses, in addition to the V line (V8 and V7), which combines excellent image quality with the various assistance tools intelligent.

Another outstanding solution is SonoSync¹, which allows different professionals to monitor exams simultaneously, even if they are in different locations, as it works as a streaming system for transmitting medical images in high definition and in real time from the room exam data to a remote device such as a computer, tablet or smartphone with an internet connection.
