Multislice Helical CT Scanner Activion 16 is a 16 slice helical CT system that supports whole body scanning. The system generates a maximum of 32 slices per 1.5 seconds using the selectable slice thickness Multi-row Detector (SSMD). In addition, the high speed rotation mechanism and the fast reconstruction unit of the system allow quick image acquisition to further improve throughout in CT examinations. FEATURES: -Multislice detector Detection elements with high power and uniform output characteristics enable a minimum slice thickness of 0.5 mm and accurate isotropic data can be acquired. The adoption of the SSMD method means that high speed as well as high resolution scanning are supported. -High-speed scan Up to 16 slices can be acquired simultaneously per rotation. For example, scanning of the lung fields over a range of 30 cm at a slice thickness of 1 mm can be completed in to second or less. -High quality images It is now possible to use thin slice helical scanning for routine examinations. Based on high resolution voxel data, smooth and finely detailed 3D and MPR images can be obtained with the same size in the X, Y and Z directions (isotropic) In CT cerebral angiography, for example, scanning over a range of 40 mm at a slice thickness of 0.5 mm can be completed in 4 seconds and image processing (such as 3D, MPR, or tomographic image processing) can be performed for a single volume acquisition dataset though simple operations. In addition, by stacking the data acquired using thin slices, images with reduced partial volume effects can be obtained. -Selectable image slice thickness It is possible to acquire the data for routine examination, detailed examination and to generate 3D images in a single scan. For example, by performing a helical scan with a 0.5 mm slice thickness, it is possible to generate images at various slice thickness from the some data, such as 10 mm slice images for routine examinations, 5 mm slice images for detailed examinations, and 0.5 mm slice images for generating 3D images. It is also possible to set the image slice thickness with multiple ranges. -Exposure reduction This system incorporates the quantum denoising software (QDS) as a standard function, which is effective for reducing patient exposure |
