GE Healthcare Optima CT580 W - Manual (Page 6)

With growing demand for minimally invasive procedures
comes the need for accurate real-time image guidance.
From lesion biopsies to pain management, Optima CT580 W
lets you balance dose and temporal resolution and optimize
breath hold applications. It’s flexible and versatile to support
a wide range of interventional procedures – so you don’t need
to send patients to multiple suites.
Wide-bore elbow room
A spacious, 80 cm wide-bore design gives you plenty of room
to work around your patients and insert interventional devices.
Flexible in-room controls enable fast procedures.
Customized procedures
VariSpeed lets you adjust rotational scan time in 0.1-second
increments between 0.5 and 1.0 seconds, enabling short breath
holds, more comfortable scans, and adjustment of protocols for
unique patient needs.
Precise control of interventions
GE’s low-dose SmartStep tap mode lets you complete simple
procedures quickly and accurately. And you can manage
complex cases with SmartView™* Fluoro multi-slice real-time
CT fluoroscopy. At 24 frames per second (3 view ports at 8 fps
each), the SmartView Fluoro option gives you fast real-time
image acquisition for precise needle control. A short latency
time lets you easily navigate a biopsy needle to a lung lesion
during a breath-hold or free breathing. And SmartView Fluoro
shows you exactly how your needle is adjusting when inserted
into the spinal canal or abdomen.
