LightSpeed VCT XT ™

Extending The Clinical Value of Volume CT

The LightSpeed VCT XT™ is the system of the LightSpeed family. It is a whole body scanner for innovative, advanced cardiac and neuro imaging, with SnapShot Pulse™ can deliver up to 70% dose savings without any loss of image quality in cardiac studies. Another LightSpeed VCT XT® advancement is VolumeShuttle™ This new acquisition technique enables 80mm of volume coverage for improved neuro CTA and perfusion with a single contrast injection.

The powers enabling the LightSpeed VCT XT™ are the 40mm high resolution coverage of the V-Res detector and the powerful 100kw generator that are the heart and soul of the >1200 worldwide VCT's installed today.
It is a whole body CT system that excels at cardiac vascular and neuro imaging:

  • Up to 70% lower dose without any loss in image quality with SnapShot Pulse.
  • Cardiac workflow also improved via a reduction of images to review, process and archive.
  • Innovative 80mm of coverage for neuro CTA and perfusion with VolumeShuttle.
  • All enabled by 40mm V-Res detector and powerful Performix Pro tube/generator.


Clinical Cases

With LightSpeed VCT XT™*, stunning new technology adapts to each patient’s individual physiology. For unprecedented applications that greatly extend the clinical value of Volume CT. Breathtaking cardiac imaging – with up to 70% less dose and uncompromised image quality. Neuro perfusion and angiographic studies in one exam – with one contrast injection and no dose penalty. Far more than a revolutionary breakthrough in CT imaging, LightSpeed VCT XT reaches into the future of CT. And that’s no stretch. It levees control of key system components simultaneously. In real time. And adapts to each patient to reduce dose. Extend coverage. Improve clarity. And enhance comfort.
