SmartHelical

SmartHelical

SmartHelical is a proprietary helical reconstruction algorithm. It allows users to lower technique without increasing image noise. Reducing technique allows users to extend helical scan time without tube cooling delays.

Benefits

  • Enhanced diagnosis by covering the same anatomy with thinner slices.
  • 50 to 700% extended coverage versus standard protocols without SmartHelical.
  • Improved image quality for the same coverage and scan time.
  • Increased throughput (e.g. 2-4 additional exams per hour at 60 slices, 240mA pre exam).
  • More aggressive protocols for advanced applications such as CTA and 3D.
  • Lower patient dose.


Features

  • Easy to use - simply select SmartHelical in protocol.
  • Proprietary algorithm uses additional helical data to improve image noise while only slightly increasing effective slice profile.


Applications

  • Allows users to lower mA up to 37% without increasing image noise.
  • Enables 50 to 700% longer helical scans without tube cooling.
  • Up to 37% lower dose to patient for same image noise.


Compatibility

  • HiSpeed CT/i
