GE CT Scanners

The GE BrightSpeed Elite 16 Slice CT Scanner was designed for a convenient workflow that simplifies and accelerates image acquisition, processing and reporting.

BrightSpeed Elite 16-Slice CT machine provides high quality images across a wide range of clinical applications

With ASiR, the BrightSpeed Elite may deliver image pixel standard deviation equivalent to an acquisition with higher generator power. BrightSpeed Elite offers efficiency improvements, an enhanced operator console and table design to improve workflow capabilities.

Benefits
GE Lightspeed 16 is a dependable, user friendly CT scanner. Lightspeed 16 provides sub second scan times 0.5s, SmartTools Productivity User interface for increase set up and patient throughput

One of the smallest footprints in the market. Requiring a minimum room size of 18.4 square meters, the BrightSpeed Elite optimizes the speed, power and resolution needed for all types of routine application.

IQ Enhance:
Scan as fast as a 50-slice equivalent CT in a wide range of studies without sacrificing image quality for speed.

3D dose modulation:
BrightSpeed Elite uses a 3D modulation algorithm which automatically adjusts the mA while maintaining the desired image quality, as you scan along x-y-z axes reducing dose up to 40%.

Low Dose High Image Quality:
BrightSpeeds bowtie filter technology automatically attenuates off-axis rays to maintain a more uniform X-ray field at the detectors. This minimizes dose and reduces X-ray scattering effects.

Color-Coded Pediatric protocols:
An intuitive interface for pediatric exams uses color codes to offer the user a selection of protocols tuned in advance to suit the weight of the child.

Dose Report and Prospective Dose Display:
BrightSpeed Elite provides an easy-to-archive DICOM-structured dose report. It provides a clear summary of the CTDIvol and DLP parameters, so you can compute the dose received during the scan series.

Features :

• Compact Air-Cooled Gantry
• HiLight/Lumex Detector Technology
• 16 x 0.625mm routine thin slice scanning
• Xtream FX Operators Console
• VOLARA Digital Acquisition system
• Exam RX Desktop Environment

The GE Discovery CT750 CT Scanner ASiR may reduce dose by up to 50% by allowing the use of lower mA protocols—and with high definition image quality across all anatomies—the Discovery CT750HD can reach any part of the body, any age patient, and any application that demands the leading edge of CT clarity.

Benefits

• The Discovery CT750 is designed to deliver up to 50%1 lower dose, helping assure patients with faster, more confident diagnoses.
• The Discovery CT750 offers the highest available cardiac spatial resolution in the industry at 1 18.2 lp/cm.
• Powered by our proprietary CT scintillator material, the Discovery CT750 features Gemstone* Spectral Imaging. At temporal registrations speeds of up to 165 times faster than the nearest competitor, SI is the first quantitative dual energy on the market.
• In addition to its specialized applications, the Discovery CT750 makes an excellent scanner for routine imaging by improving the clarity of the image while lowering patients’ dose. And with our breakthrough Veo image reconstruction technology, the Discovery CT750 can acquire images at under 1 mSv with profound clarity.

Features

• The Discovery CT750 HD has the industry leading Cardiac CT spatial resolution. At 18.2 lp/cm, the system provides up to 66% greater spatial resolution than comparable systems.
• The Discovery CT750 delivers improvements in spatial resolution that can help you accurately quantify stenosis in coronary vessels.
• At less than 1mSv SnapShot Pulse and ASiR* enable low dose not only for Coronary CT but across cardiovascular exams, enabling cardiac CT of less than 1mSv.Using SnapShot Pulse imaging and ASiR, the Discovery CT750 achieves a dose reduction of greater than 83% compared to gated helical acquisition. Acquisition protocols are easily adapted to the clinical needs of the individual patient for optimal diagnostic results at low dose. Intelligent system design helps to manage high and unstable heart rates in prospective and retrospective modes.

The Optima 540 CT Machine optimizes the patient experience while continuing to provide exquisite image quality. It answers your need for exceptional clinical results with an increased volume of patient throughput and a focus on patient-centered tasks.

• HiLight Matrix Detector with 24 reference elements and 0.5-sec rotation speed.
• ASiR¹ to help you achieve your lower dose needs.
• Volara Digital DAS with an increased sampling rate of up to 20% and electronic noise reduction up to 33%.
• Speed with IQE—70 cm chest-abdomen-pelvis in 10 seconds. Boost your pitch and cover more anatomy at the same image quality.
• The short geometry design of the Optima CT540 system enables equivalent imaging flux compared to a system with a longer geometry and higher generator power.
• Ultra compact form – maintains the optimal speed, power and resolution needed for all kinds of CT applications. Yet it fits in the same space as a single slice for an easier installation.
• Freedom Workspace offers sit/stand and horizontal/vertical monitor flexibility. It can also help reduce noise and heat with remote location of the console.

• Xtream Display with on-gantry display for patient name recognition and exam type.
• Default Patient Positioning provides easy and simple positioning.
• Dynamic Transition SmartPrep allows intermittent monitoring of IV contrast enhancement in an area of interest.
