High diagnostic image in a single breath hold

MPR as a routine examination with high speed sub-millimeter scanning

Speedia HD enables high-speed whole-body scanning with sub-millimeter slices, which is difficult to achieve on 16 slice CT systems. A single breath hold (approx 14sec.), can produce high-resolution images in the range of 1100mm or more. Thereby allowing wide range, high resolution MPR images to be acquired as routine.

Wide-range MPR

Chest scan at 4.5sec. Thoraco-abdominal scan at 7.5sec. High Speed Scanning with greater care for the Patient

Speedia HD with its 40mm width detector and unique 3D reconstruction algorithm-CORE method, achieves the high-speed scan even when using a pitch of 1.58. Therefore, it enables a chest area of 320mm to be scanned in only 4.5sec and a thoraco-abdominal area of 570mm in just 7.5sec. This reduces the burden on the patients who have difficultly maintaining a still position or holding a breath for a long-time.

Smart Dose Management using the Latest Technology

IntelliEC

Automatic 3D mA modulation for dose optimization

Intelli IP

Iterative processing for noise reduction

Advanced noise reduction processing employing iterative reconstruction technology reduces image noise and artifacts while maintaining a high quality image at lower doses. 7 levels of dose reduction can be selected to optimize dose and image quality per examination.

500mm Full FOV Data Acquisition

Reducing the need for re-scan

The Speedia HD acquires and retains full FOV data (500mm) for every scan. Therefore in cases where the patient body area is outside of the FOV set before the scan, the lost portion can be recovered not by re-scan but by re-calculation (if the portion is within the maximum FOV).

Re-calculation

Motion Correction

Dedicated processing makes it possible to reduce the motion artifact for the patient who has difficulty in remaining still during the scan, reducing the need for re-scan.
