GE Optima CT-580w

Description

Overview

The GE Optima CT580w is a versatile multi-purpose wide-bore CT scanner built to perform routine diagnostic studies as well as complex, specialized procedures. Designed specifically to overcome patient positioning limitations, its spacious 80 cm bore and 65 cm dynamic Field of View (FOV) give clinical teams unprecedented flexibility for bariatric patients, radiation therapy immobilization devices, and real-time interventional maneuvers.

Equipped with GE’s proven ASiR™ (Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction) and Volara™ Digital DAS, the CT580w provides high contrast resolution while significantly lowering radiation dose. Driven by a high-capacity 100 kW generator and Performix™ Pro VCT tube, it delivers continuous, rapid acquisitions with virtually zero tube cooling downtime—ensuring uninterrupted workflow in high-volume settings.

Key Features & Advanced Technologies

• 80 cm Super-Size Gantry Bore: Provides generous room for large-frame or bariatric patients, trauma access, and complex radiation oncology positioning tools (e.g., breast boards, wing boards).

• Performix™ Pro VCT 8.0 MHU Tube & 100 kW Generator: High-power X-ray system capable of penetrating dense anatomy easily without compromising scan speed or image quality.

• ASiR™ Iterative Reconstruction: Advanced algorithm that enables up to 40% radiation dose reduction while maintaining sub-millimeter structural detail and low-contrast resolution.

• Volara™ 24-Bit Digital Data Acquisition System (DAS): Reduces electronic noise by up to 33%, providing high diagnostic confidence in signal-starved areas such as shoulders, hips, and deep abdominal tissues.

• MicroVoxel™ Imaging: Enables fast 16 x 0.625 mm sub-millimeter acquisition across all scan modes for multi-planar reformats (MPR) and precise 3D rendering.

• 65 cm Displayed Field of View (DFOV): Extended visualization capacity that prevents edge-of-field artifacts on large patients or off-center anatomical positioning.
