The GE LightSpeed VCT 64 Slice CT Scanner are whole-body scanners designed for advanced cardiac and neuro imaging
GE LightSpeed VCT Overview
The refurbished GE LightSpeed VCT and GE Lightspeed VCT XT 64-slice CT scanners are whole-body scanners designed for advanced cardiac and neuro imaging. The Lightspeed VCT XT is the higher-end model of the VCT, with the key differences being a 0.35 second rotation time and “Volume Shuttle” as a standard feature. Volume shuttle is for perfusion scanning in which two 40mm bands are imaged in rapid succession, resulting in an 80mm volume image. Equipped with a 40mm V-Res detector, a powerful Performix Pro tube generator and a 100kw generator, a refurbished GE LightSpeed VCT XT can scan heart and coronary artery images in as little as five heartbeats.
