High-Speed, Accurate ImagingThe GE VCT 64 Slice CT Scanner achieves high-speed, precise imaging with its 0.35-second rotation time and 64-row solid-state detector. Combining advanced hardware with ASIR noise reduction technology, clinicians benefit from consistent, high-quality images for whole-body and specialized scans, including cardiac and neurological evaluations.
Flexible and Secure Data ManagementWith 1 TB internal storage, compatibility with DICOM, JPEG, and TIFF formats, and seamless PACS connectivity, the scanner ensures secure and flexible data handling. It enables rapid sharing, retrieval, and export of diagnostic images, streamlining workflow in busy hospital environments and imaging centers.
Patient Comfort and EfficiencyDesigned for patient safety and comfort, the scanner features a spacious 70 cm gantry and table load capacity up to 205 kg. Automatic patient positioning and high-speed table movement (up to 100 mm/sec) improve throughput and reduce scan times, supporting efficient care delivery in both routine and emergency situations.
FAQs of GE VCT 64 Slice CT Scanner:
Q: How does the GE VCT 64 Slice CT Scanner enhance diagnostic accuracy?
A: Its 64-row solid-state detector and sub-millimeter isotropic resolution (0.35 mm) allow highly detailed imaging, while ASIR noise reduction improves image clarity. These features contribute to more precise diagnoses in cardiac, neurological, and whole-body applications.
Q: What is the process for exporting scan data from the GE VCT 64 Slice CT Scanner?
A: Scan data can be exported in DICOM, JPEG, or TIFF formats, easily transferred via the Windows-based workstations PACS connectivity and Ethernet networking capabilities, ensuring seamless integration with hospital systems.
Q: When should this CT scanner be used for cardiac imaging?
A: The scanners dedicated cardiac CT software, fast rotation time (0.35 seconds), and high resolution make it ideal for cardiac evaluations such as coronary artery assessment and anatomical studies, particularly when rapid, non-invasive imaging is required.
Q: Where can the GE VCT 64 Slice CT Scanner be installed?
A: It is suitable for installation in hospitals, imaging centers, and diagnostic radiology departments, requiring sufficient space to accommodate its 251 x 180 x 220 cm dimensions and appropriate electrical infrastructure (voltage: 380-480 V, frequency: 50/60 Hz).
Q: What benefits does automatic patient positioning provide?
A: Automatic patient positioning improves workflow efficiency, reduces scan setup time, optimizes image quality, and enhances patient comfort by ensuring accurate placement for each specific scan protocol.
Q: How is whole-body scanning achieved with this system?
A: The scanners spiral scanning range of up to 200 cm, high-speed table movement (100 mm/sec), and robust X-ray tube capacity enable efficient whole-body imaging for trauma, cancer staging, and comprehensive health assessments.
Q: What are the advantages of adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR)?
A: ASIR reduces image noise and radiation dose, maintains high image quality, and supports safer imaging practicesespecially important for sensitive populations such as pediatric or repeat patients.
