The radiological evaluation of the thorax in children and adolescents
by Volume CT has become an important diagnosticmodality in clinical
practice. Radiation reduction in pediatric patients of different ages has
guided GE to develop dose reduction innovations like Optidose™, ASiR™.
Pediatric Imaging
With the combination of fast acquisition speed, large
coverage and high spatial resolution in all acquisition
modes, the LightSpeed VCT is especially appropriate
for pediatric examinations. These non-invasive techniques
can be used for restless patients, with speed, precision
and reduced radiation dose. This has the potential to be
beneficial for the exploration of congenital malformations such as transposition of great vessels.
