The LightSpeed
CT Scanner with
TM
Xtream
technology is the next step in
GE's CT Continuum and its award-
winning LightSpeed CT platform. The
16
LightSpeed
CT Scanner routinely
acquires 16 sub-millimeter slices in one
rotation, at a scan speed of 0.5 seconds.
As with the very first LightSpeed product

introduction, the LightSpeed
Designed for Six Sigma (DFSS
methodology in all aspects of
manufacturing and engineering.

LightSpeed
is available both as a new
system or as a cost-effective upgrade to
an existing LightSpeed system.
Primary Benefits
• Routine use of sub-millimeter slices
without

small
assessments – pancreas, liver or circle
of willis, renal arteries, coronary arteries
and peripheral vascular arteries.
• The 6.3 MHU Performix X-Ray Tube
demonstrates the highest reliability and
delivers the power you need for image
quality. The Performix Tube now comes
standard with a one-year, non pro-rated
warranty.

corners of the gantry and an Integrated IV
Pole at the foot of the table.
• 1700 mm scannable range for full body
scans.
• 254 GB Disk (system, image, scan disks)
stores up to 250,000 512
scan data files.
• Cardiac acquisition with Segment, Burst
and Burst Plus enable you to scan patients
with heart rates from 40 to 110 BPM, and
provide for temporal resolution up to 65
ms.
• Color Coding for Kids, winner of a
National Heroes Award from the Emergency
Medical Services for Children, provides
pediatric scan protocols based on the
TM
Broselow-Luten
Pediatric System. This
Color Coding system is incorporated into the
protocol selection on the operator's console
and is designed to facilitate pediatric
emergency care and reduce medical errors.
