Computed tomography is one of the most valuable
tools used for diagnosis. Its a special type of
imaging that allows physicians to view organs and
bones non-invasively. The CT Scanner allows
X-rays to travel through the body, capturing
multiple angles of a cross-sectional image. These
X-rays are compiled into a 3D representation,
which are then stored and examined on a computer.
Algorithms are used to reconstruct the images in
a readable format.

CT Scans are often used to diagnose many
different cancers. While some forms of cancer are
dropping in the U.S., like colorectal and
cervical cancers, cancer is still a health
crisis. According to Mordor Intelligence, the CT
market will grow by almost 6 annually between
now and 2026. Todays scanner manufacturers are
now enhancing their CT scanner models with more
productivity-enhancing features. These features
include quality, dose, workflow, artificial
intelligence technologies, intelligent user
interfaces, precision and speed. Lets take a
closer look.

Accuracy, Precision and Speed From Aquilion
Exceed LB CT

• Canon Medical Systems USA Inc has introduced this
  CT system that has the potential to enhance the
  treatment of cancer patients by oncologists. It
  has the ability to reduce radiation dose
  exposure, increase patient throughput and improve
  accuracy. The technology delivers high-quality,
  high-resolution volumetric, 3D reconstruction
  images in a cost effective and clinically
  relevant manner.
• It has a 90cm bore opening
• It offers an edge-to-edge extended field of view
  reconstruction (90 cm)
• It provides sharper, clearer and more distinct
  images
• It has wide detector coverage (4 cm)

Siemens Intelligent User Interface with Somatom
X.ceed CT Scanner

• This CT scanner by Siemens Healthineers features
  both a high level of resolution unlike any other
  single-source CT system with high speed scanning
  capabilities. Theres also a new
  hardware/software combination that simplifies
  CT-guided interventions.
• It has a 262 mm/sec scan speed that provides a
  consistent image quality across the entire field
  of view
• The fast rotation speed of .25 seconds reduces
  motion artifacts when scanning moving structures
  like the heart
• The rotation speed ensures a high native temporal
  resolution

• The .4 X .5 scanner focal point enables increased
  spatial resolution that better detects
  deep-seated small and medium-sized lesions
• You get a 1,300 mA power reserve for higher
  power. This enables a high level image quality
  for larger patients. It also expands the
  utilization of low dose and low contract medical
  techniques, including low kV imaging
• With myExam Companion user guidance software,
  artificial intelligence helps simplify and
  standardize scanner operation for every user.
  This is also a new decision tool for trauma
  imaging
• You get immediate assessment of CT perfusion
  results thanks to the myExam Satellite feature.
  This is a game-changer in emergency radiology

Revolution Ascend With Effortless Workflow by GE
Healthcare
This CT Scanner offers a collection of AI
technologies that will automate and simplify
tasks that are time consuming. By increasing
operational efficiency, clinicians will have more
time to deliver more personalized care for more
patients. It has a lower table, a larger new 75
cm-wide gantry and 40 mm detector coverage. It
will accommodate high body mass index patients
and trauma patients that can be too delicate to
maneuver in a smaller gantry.

• It features Effortless Workflow, a new suite of
  AI solutions that personalizes scans
  automatically and accurately. It also requires
  less effort form the CT technologist.
• A suite of embedded intelligent tools called the
  Clarity Operator Environment provides optimal
  scan range settings, dose and image quality for
  every patient. It delivers great efficiency and
  more personalize medicine across critical care
  areas.
• Auto Positioning uses real-time depth-sensing
  technology that generates a 3D model of a
  patients body. It also has a deep learning
  algorithm that determines the correct table
  elevation and cradle movements which align the
  center of the range scan with the isocenter of
  the bore.
