GE Healthcare -
The LightSpeed VCT is the latest innovation in CT technology. VCT means "Volume CT"...ushering in a new era in CT imaging.
The innovative hallmark of this non-invasive imaging system is the new V-Res™ detector with its ability to deliver wide anatomical coverage and high resolution, simultaneously.
This unprecedented coverage speed allows clinicians to capture whole organs in a second, the heart in 5 beats, or go head to toe in under 10 seconds - faster than any other CT scanner on the market today.
With breakthroughs in technology, comes the opportunity for new and dynamically enhanced procedures, such as:
5-Beat Cardiac™ - a comprehensive view of the heart and coronary arteries with submillimeter resolution in 5 seconds.
The coverage possible helps reduce beat-to-beat variability resulting in more robust, repeatable procedures, greater vessel visualization and shorter breath holds for sick patients.
Triple RuleOut™ - the ability to help clinicians rule out (or in) the three most life-threatening critical conditions in chest pain in one single gated thorax acquisition - aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism and coronary artery disease.
Stroke WorkUp - the ability to dynamically obtain both anatomical and functional information in a single cine acquisition: to get high resolution clinical data characterizing patient status and management, such as blood volume, blood flow or Mean Transit Time.
Ergonomic Table Design - longer scannable range, flexible patient positioning, higher patient weight capacity, the new VT Patient Positioning System sets the standard for comfort and function.
Specifically, the LightSpeed VCT covers 4cm of patient anatomy per rotation, gathering high density of data with 64 channels at high rotation speed (as fast as 350 milli-seconds per rotation).
It comes complete with Xtream™ FX, GE's enhanced productivity solution that keeps your CT suite workflow moving and adds dynamic new reading tools such as Direct MPR to speed the time to a diagnosis.
LightSpeed VCT... "Pump up the volume"...
