Product Description

The LightSpeed VCT is the latest innovation in CT technology. VCT means "Volume CT"...ushering in a new era in CT imaging.

The innovative hallmark of this non-invasive imaging system is the new V-Res^™ detector with its ability to deliver wide anatomical coverage and high resolution, simultaneously.

This unprecedented coverage speed allows clinicians to capture whole organs in a second, the heart in 5 beats, or go head to toe in under 10 seconds -- faster than any other CT scanner on the market today.

Specifically, the LightSpeed VCT 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...or approximately 2.5 to 3 rotations per second.

It comes complete with Xtream^™ FX, GE's enhanced productivity solution that keeps your CT suite workflow moving and adds dynamic new reading tools such as Direct MPR to speed the time to a diagnosis.
