For even greater accuracy and reduced artifact, images can be reconstructed retrospectively in either single or multiple segment modes. Comprehensive, multi-phase acquisitions are necessary for productive functional CT heart assessment.
All Snapshot acquisitions utilize the unique continuously variable speed LightSpeed gantry, providing the greatest flexibility to optimize gantry speed, tube/detector location, pitch, and patient heart rate.
