General Electric Lightspeed VCT
64-Slice CT Scanner

• The world’s first Volume CT system, is the latest innovation in computed- tomography (CT) technology that ushers in game-changing clinical imagery and applications in neurology, cardiology, and general radiology.
• Captures images of a beating heart in five heartbeats, an organ in a second, and if necessary, whole body trauma in 10 seconds.
• Volume coverage is diagnostic power -- including the ability to routinely perform CT-angiography, in addition to rapid test for stroke and chest pain.
• Scans as fast as 0.35 seconds per rotation. Higher speed scanning translates to clearer, sharper images with fewer problems caused by patient movement or motion of a beating heart.
• Automated dose-reduction features means less exposure to radiation.
• Patients benefit from faster exams and less time needed for breath-holds, which can mean less stress for the patient.
