GE Healthcare Optima CT660 - Manual (Page 12)

Traditionally in CT there has been an undesirable trade-off between
image quality and low radiation dose levels. While high image quality
often requires greater patient exposure to diagnostic radiation, lower
dose levels traditionally meant 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 as low as possible.
HIGH PERFORMANCE IMAGING .
Giving you profound image clarity
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* CT660 scanner to uniformly
and routinely achieve exceptional image quality across a wide array of clinical
applications, including cardiac imaging.
