Technology

Tried and True Technologies

• HiLight Matrix Detector with 24 reference elements and 0.5-sec rotation speed.
• ASiR1 to help you achieve your lower dose needs.
• Volara Digital DAS with an increased sampling rate of up to 20% and electronic noise reduction up to 33%.
• Speed with IQE—70 cm chest-abdomen-pelvis in 10 seconds. Boost your pitch and cover more anatomy at the same image quality.
• The short geometry design of the Optima CT540 system enables equivalent imaging flux compared to a system with a longer geometry and higher generator power.
• Ultra compact form - maintains the optimal speed, power and resolution needed for all kinds of CT applications. Yet it fits in the same space as a single slice for an easier installation.
• Freedom Workspace offers sit/stand and horizontal/vertical monitor flexibility. It can also help reduce noise and heat with remote location of the console.

Benefits

• Xtream Display with on-gantry display for patient name recognition and exam type.
• Default Patient Positioning provides easy and simple positioning.
• Dynamic Transition SmartPrep allows intermittent monitoring of IV contrast enhancement in an area of interest.
• Emergency Patient Mode has a dedicated User Interface (UIF) for emergency cases to start examinations quickly.
• Prospective Multiple Reconstruction (PMR) allows up to 10 sets of reconstructions to be pre-programmed as part of the scan protocol prior to acquisition.
• Enhanced filming workflow tool provides a friendly and powerful user interface. Allows you to open multiple sessions at the same time for one or more patients and to set up multiple films in parallel.

The Optima CT660 FREEdom Edition is designed to help you address challenging imaging situations, offering both high image quality and multiple dose reduction features on one platform - helping your clinical practice deliver performance without compromise.

The system also features SnapShot Freeze, an intelligent motion correction breakthrough that significantly reduces coronary motion, transcending the limits of CT rotation speed.

Technology

Tried and True Technologies

• SnapShot* Freeze delivers equivalent gantry rotation of 0.058msec and effective temporal resolution of 29sec.
• SnapShot* Pulse imaging combined with ASiR* may enable a dose reduction of greater than 83% compared to gated helical acquisition.
• Innovative 40-mm V-Res detector at 0.35-sec rotation speed.
• Up to 60% lower CO2 emissions using the energy saving mode.
• ASiR1 technology may allow for lower mA exams throughout the body.
• Simplified workflow for quick and streamlined operation.
• Scalable, modular design for ease of service.
• Volara digital data acquisition system produces up to 128-slice axial reconstruction for improved Z-axis visualization and artifact reduction.

Benefits

• Emergency situations - Scan in one pass with diagnostic image quality and images reconstructed in real time.
• Cardiac capabilities - Helping you get cardiac exams right the first time.
• High image quality at lower dose - Diagnostic image quality for confident diagnosis at reduced dose Learn more (hyperlink to Dose management).
• Simplicity - Intuitive to use, default patient positioning to reduce manual positioning, automated post-processing for improved workflow.
• Patient care and comfort - Enhanced table coupled with a user friendly console to confirm patient information and program scan in the scan room.
• Angiography - Extended range for dynamic CTA and functional assessment.
• Perfusion - Twice the coverage with less dose using volume shuttle.
• Energy efficient - consumes up to 60% less energy than previous GE CT systems and boasts a 15% lower siting requirement compared to other 64 channel detector scanners.
