An integrated detector design built with modern chipsets and DAS on detector (DoD) technology is used in our premium Revolution CT to lower noise and achieve high signal-to-noise performance. Ultra Kernel

Adaptive Enhanced Level Adjustment (AELA) can improve visual-spatial resolution while maintaining pixel noise standard deviation. This kernel may be helpful in enhancing the visualization of small anatomical structures with high contrast. Clinical Excellence Everyday

Improved Patient Care intelligent technology designed to help you acquire high-quality images using lower doses of radiation, contributing to more accurate diagnoses and lower exposures for patients.

ASiR™ Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction1 Up to 40% Dose Reduction

Advanced iterative reconstruction technique that provides breakthrough image quality in multi-slice CT exams at a significantly lower dose. 1.67 X mA equivalent ASiR uses sophisticated statistical modeling to remove noise in images while preserving anatomical detail. It improves low-contrast detectability and can have equivalent IQ to an acquisition with 1.67 times the Ma.

Smart Dose Technologies

Volumetric Image Space Reconstruction (ViSR2) An advanced filter helps manage photon starvation in large-size patients as well as wide or dense anatomical objects such as shoulders and pelvis. A 3D filter reduces noise without compromising resolution, for clear visualization of brain, tumor, and pediatric cases. ViSR delivers up to a 20% improvement in image quality at the same dose or the same image quality with up to a 36% dose reduction. 3D mA Modulation Enables the system to optimize tube current in x-y-z directions with negligible effect on image quality. The system varies mA according to patient shape and scan protocol to lower doses in a patient-centric manner.

DoseWatch™ is A comprehensive dose management solution. Keep dose levels as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) while producing sharp, focused diagnostic images. Track and monitor patients’ cumulative radiation dose over time and take steps to prevent excessive radiation dose.

Organ Dose Modulation (ODM) ODM was developed to act as a virtual shield and provide the dose reduction goal of a shield material without the negative effects it may have on imaging performance. Reduce radiation dose by up to 40% when imaging superficial tissues like breasts and eyes through ODM.

Dose Check Receiving notifications and alerts if your predetermined dose levels will be exceeded enables you to correct and confirm the right settings before scanning, to avoid unnecessary radiation dose to your patient.
