Patient Focus: Dose-reduction solutions
Introducing the world's first high-definition radiation dose-reducing CT scanner delivered by the same group that brought you the first light bulb. This breakthrough technology improves image quality while lowering radiation exposure by up to 83% in cardiac, up to 50% full body. Plus, the 33% boost in clarity is obtained faster than many traditional scans, which means doctors have greater precision, faster results, accurate diagnosis – all while lowering the radiation to patients.

For decades, GE has been a pioneer in Computed Tomography. Now, for the first time, a revolutionary platform puts doctors on the leading edge of CT and positions them at the forefront of diagnostic care. Breakthrough technologies offered by the Discovery CT750 HD and LightSpeed VCT XTe configuration sets new standards in CT clarity and low dose. Some of the image-enhancing dose-reducing technologies include:
|
-
Gemstone: Garnet crystal technology developed specifically for CT, 100 times faster than any other detector. This proprietary scintillator gives diagnostic images a big boost and enables hi-def imaging in sub-seconds.
-
ASIR™: Algorithm applied to raw data gathered during the scan. This algorithm cleans up noise in an image, enabling radiation to be at its lowest necessary level.
-
Dual Energy: Two different energy pulses improve image registration across 50 cm field of view.
|
-
ASIR™: Dose reducing Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction. ASIR is available as a cost effective upgrade to existing VCT machines, an attractive alternative to purchasing a new scanner.
-
5-Beat Cardiac with SnapShot™ Pulse: 1 scan. 5 beats. Up to 83% Less Dose.
-
Volume Helical Shuttle: VHS extends scan range even farther; achieving coverage up to 500 slice 4D-CTA, surpassing the widest detectors.
