LightSpeed VCT has demonstrated GE s technological leadership in CT. GE R&D teams introduced major breakthroughs such as the Volara digital Data Acquisition System and the Xtream FX workflow engine. The BrightSpeed Elite is built with these innovations and more. The Performix Tube and Matrix Detector reliability champions let you depend on the system day after day. It exceeds even high image quality expectations and makes a new world of clinical applications possible. Take the step towards a brilliant future with BrightSpeed.
High resolution/low dose The BrightSpeed Elite offers high image resolution - up to 0.35 mm isotropic - at a optimized dose. This performance level comes from the Matrix detector and GE's innovative Volara digital DAS, which boosts processing power and reduces electronic noise by 30 to 40 percent. BrightSpeed is likely to change your expectations of image quality. From osteo-articular studies to MIP lung reviews, see what an optimized dose will do for your images. Power to perform Thanks to Performix tube performance, BrightSpeed offers high power for multi-organ acquisition, sub-millimeter slice thickness and sub-second scanning; outstanding beam quality and exceptional patient throughput. Now enhanced with SmartTube technology, Performix tube offers improved longevity and reliability. This technology adapts tube performance to clinical needs. Outstanding speed BrightSpeed offers all the information you are likely to need in just a few minutes. With gantry speeds up to half a second per rotation, and variable scan speeds adjustable by a tenth of a second, your patients will benefit from much shorter breath holds. Whether you are collecting information or reviewing it, BrightSpeed makes it easy and quick. It delivers the latest LightSpeed VCT workflow engine, Xtream FX. It accelerates image reconstruction and transfer speed and provides the latest volume review tools right from the One-Touch Protocols. Breakthrough technology Volara DAS Performix Pro tube Half a second per rotation
Abdominal CT : detect, with detail quickly The BrightSpeed Elite has the power, speed and resolution to help you diagnose abdominal disease. BrightSpeed can also aid in the detection of small lesions or provide a detailed evaluation of tumor extension. It can also allow clinicians to characterize lesions through a comparison of arterial, portal and delayed phases. lets you see inside CT Angiography : from minimally invasive diagnosis to outstanding communication The BrightSpeed Elite routinely performs minimally invasive, fast angiography for your patients. Spatial and low contrast resolution allow a detailed study of arterial vascular disease, including calcified plaque and occluded or lumen reduction. Outstanding 3D images simplify communication with referral doctors or vascular surgeons. Thorax CT : to see it clearly and, see it early BrightSpeed's resolution, speed, and exclusive image post-processing solutions can dramatically assist you in diagnosis of lung pathologies such as nodules, tumors and sub-segmented aeric or vascular lesions. With features such as multi-planar format, MIP and LungVCAR, BrightSpeed's volume review tools provide a more complete and accurate assessment of pulmonary structures.
All images acquired on BrightSpeed Elite From head to toe, the BrightSpeed Elite will provide high quality images across a wide range of applications requested by your referring physicians.
Fast. Easy. Unified. Simultaneous. Using Xtream FX, you get to the right images right away. Send them with ease wherever they need to go - ready to read. And keep your system up and running at the highest quality standards with the benefit of GE's comprehensive service technology and network - originally designed to support aircraft engines, now maximized to meet for the demands of health care. Take a step toward a brilliant future with BrightSpeed.
Xtream FX, your platform for productivity A simple acquisition A simple user interface minimizes training and maximizes technologist utilization and productivity. Put it in Prospective Xtream FX accelerates image processing up to 16 images per second with full cone beam reconstruction. With Direct-Multi-Planar Reconstruction (DMPR), datasets are prospectively presented in the axial, sagittal, coronal and oblique planes. Reformatted images can be prescribed in the scan protocol for automatic generation, distribution and storage. Make Volume Review Routine GE's most advanced volume review applications are now available on the BrightSpeed operator console. Our One- Touch protocols personalize image presentations to individual physician preferences, so volume-rendering attributes, multi-planar reformats and image sizing are automatically applied as the patient series open. With autosegmentation tools, a touch of a button removes unwanted bone or surrounding structures, providing clear visualization of vascular structures for faster interrogation. Big Enough to Share Prospective Auto-Transfer allows you to prescribe what you want where you want it on the network at the image, series or exam level or distribute it on CD, DVD in PC or DICOM format. Empower your work with AW VolumeShare 2 AW VolumeShare 2 computation power you today a technological breakthrough. It incorporates 64-bit technology, which doubles image loading and handling capacity, thus managing the hardware of imaging datasets. It also features an innovative and intuitive user interface that enables you to streamline you workflow and anticipates your needs.
