VolumeShuttle
—
twice the coverage with less dose
VolumeShuttle helps make the most challenging
neuro CT perfusion and angiographic studies possible.
It doubles the acquisition coverage to 80mm, with less
dose. As a result, practitioners can perform studies
such as 4D CTA and CT perfusion in a single scan and
with a single contrast injection. For Neuro imaging it
ensures ample coverage to perform “whole territory
perfusion” (from the basal ganglia to the top of the
lateral ventricles).
Extending coverage for
functional assessment
The Discovery CT750 HD allows for extended coverage
for both 4D CT Angiography (CTA) and perfusion studies
with two innovative features: VolumeShuttle
*
and
Volume Helical Shuttle combined with CT Perfusion 4D,
which provides volumetric functional analysis using a
new Smart Map that creates noise reduced maps while
preserving functional detail. They both extend coverage
and overcome today’s challenge of coverage limited
by detector width.
Perfusion coverage

up to 140mm
4D CTA coverage up to 312.5mm
