| Vendor | | GE Healthcare | | Item | | LightSpeed VCT 64-slice Scanner | | Features | | - 5-Beat Cardiac™ - a comprehensive view of the heart and coronary arteries with submillimeter resolution in 5 seconds. The coverage possible helps reduce beat-to-beat variability resulting in more robust, repeatable procedures, greater vessel visualization and shorter breath holds for sick patients.
- Triple RuleOut™ - the ability to help clinicians rule out (or in) the three most life-threatening critical conditions in chest pain in one single scan - aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism and coronary artery disease
- Stroke WorkUp - the ability to dynamically acquire both anatomy and perfusion/blood flow to the brain in a cine scan.
| | Approval | | US FDA | | Slices | | 64 | | Detector | | V-Res™ detector | | Scanning | | Covers 4cm of patient anatomy per rotation, gathering 64 slices at 0.625mm (about the thickness of a credit card).
Gantry rotation speed is < 375 milli-seconds (approximately 2.5 to 3 rotations per second). | | Pricing |  | Inquire |

| | Product Description | |
| Volume coverage, not slices, changes the way anatomy is imaged and how studies are performed. The LightSpeed VCT Series of scanners combine superior resolution with outstanding coverage making the imaging of difficult patients or procedures more routine.
The LightSpeed VCT Series groundbreaking technology opens the door to new procedures while improving the imaging of existing ones. Improved resolution, reduced acquisitions per study*, shorter patient-breath-holds along with the platform's power to routinely support faster coverage with submillimeter resolution, allow more robust and repeatable studies. This is critical in emerging procedures such as Coronary Angiographic studies.
