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.
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
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.
