Highlights

• Full flexibility to upgrade to a Stellar detector
• Processing of the signal without losses
• Reduction of electronic noise
• Enhanced image quality
• Dynamic range up to 102 dB
• Scan speed of up to 23 cm/s and rotation of 0.28 s

The Entry into Dual Energy

Dual Energy takes your diagnostic possibilities to a new level. It adds quantitative information to the morphology of a conventional CT scan. Receive crisp image quality and sharper contrast with the possibility to significantly reduce metal artifacts.

Highlights

• Full flexibility to upgrade to a Stellar detector
• Material characterization added to morphology
• No compromise on image quality
• All dose-saving features available, such as SAFIRE¹ and CARE Dose4D
• As easy as a spiral scan
• Evaluation software applications for a variety of clinical challenges
• Motion artifact reduction with robust image registration
• Dedicated scan protocol for contrast media enhanced scans

Single-Click Readiness

Every CT examination poses individual and specific requirements to achieve the optimum clinical outcome.

Highlights

• Immediate, organ-based scan and recon range setting with FAST Planning
• Precise spine recon preparation with just a single click with FAST Spine
• FAST Adjust allows intuitive scan parameter adjustment with the push of a button
• Higher reliability and reproducibility in cardiac CT with the FAST Cardio Wizard
