Optima* CT540

At GE Healthcare, the goal was to design a CT system
that would provide our clinical partners with the imaging
capabilities needed every day, combined with the image
quality and ease of use you have come to expect from
GE CT scanner technology.
The result is Optima CT540.
With Optima CT540, this design concept combines your
clinical expertise with a streamlined workfl ow continuum to
help you provide the most reliable and consistent imaging
results.
Optima CT540 is ready
when you are.
At GE Healthcare, we are focused on high quality patient diagnostics
and mindful of your desire for a simplifi ed workfl ow.
The new Optima CT540 optimizes the patient experience while
continuing to provide exquisite image quality.
We understand your need for exceptional clinical results,
a steadily increased volume of patient throughput, a focus
on patient-centered tasks, and a reduction in unnecessary steps
and tedious, time-consuming operations.
This is what the new Optima CT540 is all about—improving the patient
experience to make the study more effective from start to fi nish.
Built on ASiR*, a breakthrough innovation in iterative reconstruction
technology, the Optima CT540 is built to provide a reliable and
cost-effective CT solution for high quality diagnostic imaging.
Pitch booster
with IQ enhance
(IQE)
Its ergonomics are designed with end-users in mind, creating
a “comfort zone” experience for both patients and practitioners alike.
In addition, a strong fi eld service network backed by digital services and
remote capabilities, along with a wide range of educational opportunities,
can ensure a lifetime of user satisfaction and support.

A partner you can rely on.
By design.
The images you need. The quality you expect.
How can you get fast acquisition speed coupled
with stellar IQ—all balanced with a one-touch dose
management solution?
Look no further than the Optima CT540 :
Speed with IQE
Speed with IQE—70 cm chest-abdomen-pelvis
in 10 seconds. Boost your pitch and cover more
anatomy at the same image quality.
In addition, the GE Varispeed feature will help
adapt your acquisition speed to the right level
depending on the clinical need. An almost
immediate 48 ips visualization will follow with
direct MPR.
High IQ with Volara Digital DAS
An increased sampling rate of up to 20% results
in outstanding image quality in signal starved
areas (shoulder, hip, large patient, metal, etc.).

Optima CT540 is designed for low dose with
ASiR inside.
The ASiR reconstruction algorithm may allow for reduced mA in the
acquisition of diagnostic images, thereby reducing the dose required.
The use of ASiR may also allow for scanning at lower mA and less
anode heat input, thereby reducing the likelihood of encountering
tube cooling delays.***
A new level of streamlined workfl ow.
Whether before, during, or after the scan, the Optima CT540 is
designed to provide you with features that create a comfortable
streamlined environment while maintaining clinical effectiveness and
precision.
From the Default Patient Positioning to emergency CTs in a handful
of clicks, from a real-time scout to smart-triggered contrast exams,
the results are the same: consistent and reliable ease-of-use imaging
solutions.

Conventional CT image recontruction
techniques are simple and fast, but
have limitations, as they are sensitive
to noise and artifacts.
ASiR extracts noise by modelling its
root causes for each patient and
application type.

A leap ahead in dose management
ASiR may help clinicians achieve dose reductions
while delivering the diagnostic image quality
needed for confi dent diagnosis. It may also
improve low contrast detectability***.
ASiR changes the dose paradigm across many
anatomies and patients. Based on customers’
experiences using ASiR technology, excellent
diagnostic image quality at low dose has been
demonstrated across exam types and body
regions.
