Low contrast detectability (LCD), image noise, spatial resolution and artifacts were assessed using reference factory protocols comparing ASiR-V and FBP. The LCD measured in 0.625 mm slices and tested for both head and body modes using the MITA CT IQ Phantom (CCT183, The Phantom Laboratory), using model observer method. 2. In clinical practice, the use of ASiR–V may reduce CT patient dose depending on the clinical task, patient size, anatomical location and clinical practice. A consultation with a radiologist and a physicist should be made to determine the appropriate dose to obtain diagnostic image quality for the particular clinical task. 3.

Make low-dose routine Diagnostic images at the right dose add up to great care. That’s why it’s essential for you to limit your patients’ radiation exposure to just what’s necessary. To do that, you need a CT that makes it easier for you to lower radiation dose without making it harder to make the right diagnosis. Revolution* EVO delivers several dose-lowering capabilities. Our innovative ASiR-V* iterative reconstruction option is designed to reduce noise levels, improve low-contrast detectability and reduce dose by up to 82% in routine imaging for all exams and all patients.1,2,3 Additionally, a comprehensive collection of Smart Dose technologies helps you monitor, measure and manage your dose delivery and select the optimum parameters to ensure low dose and diagnostic images.

Dose Conscious MAR requires just a single scan to create an exceptionally clear image, helping you to deliver dose conscious care. Streamlined workflow for patient comfort The efficient, single-scan process helps to keep patient time inside the scanner short. Versatility MAR is designed to enhance clarity across a range of cases with metal including scans with hip implants, dental fillings, screws or other metal in the body. How it works: Based on the latest in GE Healthcare smart technology, MAR uses an automated, three-stage projection based process to help improve the quality of CT data within the projection space, rather than in image space. This innovative, projection-based method helps to reduce photon starvation, beam hardening and streak artifacts caused by metal in the body, such as hip implants, spine screws and dental fillings. The projection space correction leads to images that are consistent with the uncorrected image and of exceptional image quality. Stage One: Corrupted samples in the projection that correspond to metallic objects are identified. Stage Two: Inpainted data is generated by replacing the metal corrupted projections with the corrected data. The corrected data is generated using the forward projection of the classified image. Stage Three: The final corrected projection is generated using a combination of the original projection data and the inpainted projection, revealing anatomic details hidden beneath the artifacts.
