GE Optima CT-660 w

Description

Overview

The GE Optima CT660 is designed to bridge the gap between routine general-purpose scanners and high-end volume CT systems. Engineered to help healthcare institutions address rising exam volumes and strict radiation safety guidelines, the Optima CT660 delivers fast acquisitions, low total cost of ownership, and versatile diagnostic performance across all age groups and body types.

At the heart of the Optima CT660 is the Volara™ XT Data Acquisition System (DAS) and the V-Res™ detector array, which together digitize signals rapidly to minimize electronic noise. Combined with one-touch workflow positioning, automated protocols, and rapid reconstruction speeds, the Optima CT660 streamlines daily operation while maintaining high spatial and temporal resolution for critical diagnostic decisions.

Key Features & Advanced Technologies

• V-Res™ Detector & Volara™ XT DAS: A 40 mm detector array utilizing HiLight™ scintillator crystals with 99% photon absorption efficiency. Paired with Volara™ XT DAS, it captures fine structural details with sub-millimeter precision.

• ASiR™ & ASiR-V™ Iterative Reconstruction: Advanced noise-modeling algorithms that allow clinicians to reduce radiation dose by up to 82% compared to conventional filtered back-projection (FBP) while improving low-contrast detectability by up to 135%.

• SnapShot™ Freeze & SnapShot Pulse: Intelligent motion-correction technology that calculates vessel velocity to correct for coronary artery movement within a single heartbeat. Achieves an effective temporal resolution of 29 ms and lowers cardiac dose by up to 83% via prospective gating.

• Smart MAR (Metal Artifact Reduction): Projection-domain artifact reduction software that eliminates beam-hardening and photon starvation streaks from joint replacements, surgical screws, and dental work.

• Performix™ 40 X-Ray Tube: Heavy-duty, high-mA output tube designed to withstand high-volume back-to-back scanning without thermal mid-day downtime.

• Streamlined Workflow & One-Touch Setup: Gantry touchscreens and automated exam positioning allow operators to select protocols and position patients rapidly.
