GE Healthcare Optima CT660S - Manual (Page 7)

Optima* CT660S:
When seconds count
The Optima* CT660S can help you when scanning
potentially diffi cult patients like uncooperative, children,
or intubated patients. It provides information you need
in a timely manner to enable confi dent diagnoses in
life-threatening situations. The optimized ergonomics
on the scanner improve patient management; and the
user can reassure the patient in the scan room while
pre-scanning on the gantry display. The patient
can be scanned within seconds.
With the Optima* CT660S, the user can scan quickly
from the Circle of Willis to the lower limbs, in one pass
with diagnostic image quality and images reconstructed
in real time. Using real time reconstruction (55 fps)**,
the acquired images appear in less than 1 second on
the CT console—enabling a quick diagnosis and improving
triage and door-to-door treatment times.
Synchronized Injection: Increase
the opportunity for successful
contrast bolus timing
Xtream Injector** provides a synchronized start of the scan
and injection from the CT operator console. Synchronization
provides increased opportunity for successful contrast
bolus timing and consistency of user-entered parameters—
potentially reducing the opportunity for error.
Save time on post-processing
Save time with simultaneous image acquisition, reconstruction,
and analysis accelerate workfl ow. One-Touch protocol allows
you to personalize image presentation to individual physician
preferences so that advanced processing, volume-rendering
attributes, multi-planar reformats, and image sizing are
automatically applied as the patient series opens.
Review your images in real time
With a reconstruction time of up to 55 fps, you can confi rm
acquired images in real time and track up to 1800 mm of
scannable length with less than a 1 second delay.
Speed and coverage
For dynamic acquisition studies like pulmonary embolism,
thorax, and vascular, as well as for pediatrics and
uncooperative patients,it is critical to acquire thin slices
at the high table speed in z-direction.
GE helical reconstruction technologies and crossbeam
correction work together to enable fast routine scanning of
up to 70 cm in 6 seconds while delivering 0.35 mm isotropic
spatial resolution. This is accomplished by using IQE to achieve
a high helical pitch of 1.531** to reduce the helical artifacts.
