CT for Emergency

Automated positioning at your fingertips

Why CT for EMERGENCY

In recent years, CT-scan has become an important diagnostic imaging modality for patient management in Emergency Department (ED). In response at this development, GE Healthcare has designed scanners with high flexibility, speed and accuracy diagnostic capabilities enabling doctors to deliver a fast therapeutic strategy.

What are the specific needs in the Emergency Department

In the Emergency Department, patients come in with various sorts of diseases, like chest pains, multiple fractures, hemorrhages or ischemia, that need to be quickly imaged, rapidly diagnosed and routed towards the right departments for the most serious cases. Depending on pathologies, the challenges can be different and specific for each indication.

Real time reconstruction - Image Check
Image Check provides 340x340 matrix images for confirming Axial images in real time and tracking to up to 1800mm length with less than 1 sec delay. Reconstruction time is up to 55 fps.

Direct MPR
Direct MPR with Auto-Batch feature, affording automatic real-time direct reconstruction and transfer of fully corrected multiplanar images, in any plane.

One-Touch Protocol
One-Touch configurations allows you customize the presentation of images according to the individual preferences of radiologists, so that the parameters of advanced treatment, the attributes of volume rendering, multiplanar reformatting, and the sizing of images are automatically applied when the series of patients starts.

1. In clinical practice, the use of ASiR, ASiR-V and Veo may reduce CT patient dose depending on the clinical task, patient size, anatomical location and clinical practice. A consultation with a radiologist and a physicist should be made to determine the appropriate dose to obtain diagnostic image quality for the particular clinical task. ASiR-V low contrast detectability (LCD), image noise, spatial resolution and artifact were assessed using reference factory protocols comparing ASiR-V and FBP. The LCD measured in 0.625 mm slices and tested for both head and body modes using the MITA CT IQ Phantom (CCT183, The Phantom Laboratory), using model observer method.
   
   ASiR-V is available for Revolution EVO, HD & CT.
