Revolution CT scanner
GE Healthcare, its 510(k)-pending Revolution CT has captured a motion free image of the human heart in just one beat. Revolution CT enables the following advanced clinical exams:
- Comprehensive cardiac exams with anatomic and functional information in just one heartbeat, even with challenging patients and higher heart rates
- Rapid, whole-brain stroke assessment at low dose.
- Dynamic liver, kidney, or pancreas oncology workup personalized with perfusion and vascular flow analysis.
The Revolution CT includes the 16 cm Gemstone Clarity detector for whole organ coverage, best-in-class spatial resolution at 230 microns for visualizing small anatomy, and a 0.28 second gantry designed and tested for up to 0.2 second rotation speed. Combined with SnapShot Freeze motion correction technology, the system delivers 24 msec effective temporal resolution.
Gadolinium and Cesium detectors
Early last month, FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. announced 510(k) clearance from the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of its Gadolinium and Cesium digital X-ray detectors for pediatric use.
Wireless Digital Radiography detector
Canon U.S.A., Inc introduced the new Canon CXDI-701C Wireless Digital Radiography detector. It features enhanced liquid intrusion protection, on-board battery charging, and impact detection and weighs only 7.3 pounds. The detector provides high-resolution images at a low dose as a result of a 125 micron pixel pitch.
