GE unveils ultra-premium CT The new LightSpeed CT750 HD from GE Healthcare promises a 33% contrast improvement in the body and 47% in the heart, while cutting dose in the body by as much as half. The most significant change, however, may come from the product's ability to acquire data at more than 101 different energy levels, using an approach GE calls spectral imaging. Dominic Smith, GE's general manager of molecular imaging and CT marketing and advanced applications, describes this new capability. Greg Freiherr has the story.
Stanford MCDT workstation faceoff Seven companies went toe-to-toe in the Stanford MCDT workstation faceoff, their systems driven by 14 radiologists navigating four cases. It was three hours of intense interpretations, packaged into five-minute blocks stacked end to end. Greg Freiherr winds it up in the fastest 90 seconds in radiology.
AquilionOne Vegas protocol focuses on patient handling Patient throughput makes or breaks an imaging center. At the Spring Valley Imaging Center, one of several in the Nevada Imaging Centers group in Las Vegas, the third U.S. installation of the AquilionOne is being groomed for volume, in terms of not only data acquisition but patients as well. The center is doing advanced studies in the brain and heart but also every routine CT scan possible. Greg Freiherr has the story.
