“Traditionally, CT provided an excellent depiction of the
pulmonary vessels, thrombi and emboli. However, it
could not give us information on the severity of
pulmonary embolism obstruction or perfusion deficit
defects. With the GSI-generated iodine maps, I can
clearly see the severity of perfusion deficit. GSI is a
very effective technique that eliminates the need for
additional scans to gather functional information on
lung perfusion.”

“About 40% of our routine spine exams involve metal
instrumentation. Reducing artifact for these exams is
an important benefit that GSI provides. Spectral CT
generates virtually pristine images in these most
challenging circumstances where traditional techniques
often fail.”

“With Gemstone Spectral Imaging we can more easily
obtain high quality images on the femoral arteries in
patients with metallic hip prostheses. This capability is
particularly important when planning a transcatheter
aortic valve implantation (TAVI).”
