GE Bright Speed Elite Select

Description

Overview

The GE BrightSpeed Elite Select 16-Slice CT Scanner delivers high-definition multi-detector diagnostic power wrapped in an ultra-compact, space-saving design. Built on GE’s reliable LightSpeed VCT platform with Volara™ Digital DAS and Xtream FX workflow, the Elite Select model provides exceptional soft-tissue clarity, rapid scan speeds, and low operational costs.

Equipped with IQ Enhance (IQE) software, the system accelerates helical pitch up to 70%, allowing high-speed coverage equivalent to a 50-slice CT scanner without sacrificing image resolution. Designed with the technologist in mind, its Freedom Workspace console provides an ergonomic, sit-to-stand environment that speeds up patient processing and post-processing tasks.

Key Features & Technology

• IQ Enhance (IQE) Technology: Accelerates helical pitch while minimizing helical artifacts during thin-slice scanning, giving 50-slice equivalent coverage speed.

• Volara™ Digital Data Acquisition System (DAS): Reduces electronic noise by up to 33–40%, enhancing low-contrast resolution for detailed neuro and abdominal imaging.

• 3D Dose Modulation: Automatically adjusts mA along the X-Y-Z axes in real-time, reducing radiation exposure by up to 40% while preserving diagnostic image quality.

• Neuro 3D Filter: Advanced noise-reduction filter providing up to 20% noise reduction in brain and head scans.

• Ultra-Compact Gantry: Lightweight, air-cooled gantry fits into smaller diagnostic suites, significantly lowering site preparation and HVAC installation expenses.

• Freedom Workspace Console: True-In-One console platform that streamlines protocol selection, image reconstruction, and 3D visualization.
