GE Healthcare Optima CT660 - Manual (Page 7)

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
Perfusion: Twice the coverage with less dose
The Optima* CT660 allows extended coverage of 80 mm with VolumeShuttle***, providing
twice the brain coverage for a single bolus of contrast at lower dose. CT Perfusion 4D takes
simplicity and intelligence to a new level. Recent application enhancements improve
effi ciency, consistency, and image quality. CT Perfusion 4D imaging software supports
effi cient analysis of CT perfusion images obtained by cine imaging. The powerful software
quickly generates data that captures perfusion, blood volume, and capillary permeability
changes related to stroke and tumor angiogenesis and their treatments.
Angiography: Extended range for dynamic CTA and functional
assessment
The Optima* CT660’s speed and coverage may allow you to capture the arterial phase for
assessment of most vascular segments. With Autolaunch and Preprocessing, the system
automatically prepares up to eight cases for reading—saving substantial time. In addition,
Autobone automatically subtracts bones in angiography studies featuring automatic vessel
tracking and thrombus segmentation.
When used on the Optima* CT660, Volume Helical Shuttle*** performs up to 500-slice
(312.5 mm) dynamic studies. This tool can also conduct 4D CTA dynamic or moving joint
structure studies—opening new possibilities in orthopedic imaging. In addition, Volume
Helical Shuttle lets you perform perfusion studies of body organs and the head.
Oncology: Detect, characterize, and quantify lesions
The high power and thin slices of the Optima* CT660 provide clarity of images for detecting
very small lesions. GE Healthcare’s AW oncology imaging software helps streamline
time-consuming and labor-intensive oncology follow-up studies with integrated, optimized
reading tools.
While Lung VCAR offers a complete reading workfl ow solution with automatic processing
and enhanced viewing capabilities, enabling effi cient second reviews and easy comparison
of follow-up studies, Colon VCAR provides a complete reading workfl ow solution for the
detection of colonic lesions with electronic cleansing. The software allows clinicians to
primary-read and problem solve using correlated 2D, 3D, or 360-degree dissection views.
Time-consuming and labor-intensive, oncology follow-up studies represent over 70% of
routine reviews. OncoQuant imaging software streamlines this process so you can spend
less time retrieving studies and preparing exams, and more time reading and reviewing.
A true cross-modality oncology reading platform, OncoQuant helps you correlate and
compare CT, MR, PET/CT, and 3D X-ray data. It automates workfl ow from your PACS—
facilitating easy comparisons over time and effi cient follow-up exams.
