GE Healthcare Optima CT660S - Manual (Page 4)

Traditionally in CT there has been an undesirable trade-off between
image performance and low radiation dose levels. While high image
performance often requires greater patient exposure to diagnostic
radiation, lower dose levels usually mean lower image clarity due
to higher noise and more artifacts.
GE Healthcare has taken the next step toward eliminating
this trade-off by developing parallel technologies to see smaller
details while decreasing the dose.

at low dose
The V-Res* detector is optimized for thin-slice, volumetric imaging
with high spatial and temporal resolution. Its design and GE’s patented
HiLight* material composition combine to satisfy the critical-to-quality
requirements for primary speed, afterglow, X-ray stopping power, transparency,
light-to-electronic signal conversion, z-axis uniformity, and robust performance.
Its exceptional capabilities enable the Optima* CT660S, (scalable to 128-slice)
to uniformly and routinely achieve exceptional image performance in
a wide array of clinical applications, including cardiac imaging.
