GE Light Speed PRO

Description

Overview

The GE LightSpeed PRO 16-Slice CT Scanner represents the high-performance tier of the renowned LightSpeed family. Engineered to handle demanding clinical workflows, the LightSpeed PRO combines a 0.4-second rotation speed with high-power generator capabilities and GE’s Volara™ Digital DAS (Data Acquisition System). This powerful combination allows healthcare facilities to obtain thin-slice, high-resolution 3D reconstructions in seconds.

Equipped with the Xtream FX workflow engine, the LightSpeed PRO streamlines the entire scan process—from patient registration to 3D image rendering and PACS transfer—allowing diagnostic centers and hospitals to maximize patient throughput without compromising diagnostic accuracy.

Key Features & Advanced Technologies

• 0.4-Second Gantry Rotation: Ultra-fast rotation minimizes motion artifacts caused by breathing or involuntary patient movement, making it highly effective for cardiac and emergency cases.

• Volara™ Digital DAS: Increases sampling rates and reduces electronic noise by up to 33–40%, delivering superior low-contrast soft-tissue resolution in neuro and abdominal studies.

• Performix™ 6.3 MHU X-Ray Tube: Designed to withstand high heat loads during long, continuous scanning sessions, eliminating tube-cooling wait times between patients.

• Smart Dose & 3D Modulation: Automatically tailors radiation dose based on patient anatomy along the X, Y, and Z axes, reducing radiation exposure by up to 40%.

• Xtream FX Console: High-speed workstation that enables real-time 3D image reconstruction and multi-planar reformatting (MPR) at up to 16 frames per second.
