GE Healthcare Lightspeed VCT 64-Slice (2010)

Forty millimetres of anatomy per rotation, at 137.5 mm a second.

Coverage per rotation is what decides whether an organ is acquired in one pass or assembled across several. Sixty-four detector rows at 0.625 mm give 40 mm of z-axis coverage, advancing at 137.5 mm every second. This scanner was built in 2010 and is listed on Medigear.uk for UK business buyers.

The practical question in computed tomography is how much anatomy a single rotation captures. Where coverage is narrow, an organ is assembled from several passes taken at different moments, and the seams between them appear as misregistration when the patient breathes, moves or the contrast bolus shifts.

This platform is built around widening that window. Sixty-four detector rows at 0.625 mm give 40 mm of coverage per gantry rotation, with the table advancing at up to 137.5 mm per second. An organ falls within about a second of acquisition, a whole-body trauma survey completes in the order of ten seconds, and the sub-millimetre detector element keeps isotropic resolution fine enough for reformatting in any plane and for three-dimensional work.

Cardiac imaging is where coverage and timing meet. The heart is acquired across roughly five heartbeats, with minimum temporal resolution of 175 milliseconds, and SnapShot Pulse performs prospectively gated acquisition, exposing only within the chosen part of the cardiac cycle. SnapShot Segment reconstructs across segments where a single window will not suffice. An integrated ECG interface, cardiac enhancement filters and cardiac bowtie filters support that work, and ECG-based dose modulation varies exposure through the cycle.

VolumeShuttle extends coverage further where that licence is present, shuttling the table to cover a wider region for dynamic studies such as perfusion, which is what brings whole-organ perfusion within reach of a 40 mm detector.

Behind the acquisition sits a Performix Pro tube with 8.0 MHU heat storage cooled by oil and air, supporting sustained output across long lists and repeated angiographic work, feeding a Volara digital data acquisition system and reconstruction designed for volumetric workflow. Automatic exposure control varies current with patient attenuation through the scan.

The scanner covers a general list alongside the volume-driven studies, with rotation speeds selectable across a wide range so routine work is not obliged to run at cardiac speeds, a 70 cm aperture, a scan range of 170 cm as standard and 200 cm available, and a table taking 227 kg.

Diagnostic interpretation remains with the reporting radiologist, and exposure decisions with the operator under the employer's dose framework. The software release, licensed applications, generator configuration, tube type and condition are provided by the seller at quotation, with CE marking documentation, the declaration of conformity, a decontamination certificate and warranty terms issued by the manufacturer or held by the seller.

Cardiac CT angiography is acquired across roughly five heartbeats with prospective gating, an integrated ECG interface and cardiac filters, where the cardiac package is licensed.

Emergency chest pain assessment draws on the same coverage and timing, with the coronary tree, aorta and pulmonary arteries reachable within one acquisition where a service runs that protocol.

Stroke work-up is supported by rapid head acquisition with perfusion available where VolumeShuttle and the perfusion application are licensed.

Whole-body trauma imaging completes in the order of ten seconds at full table speed, which matters in an uncooperative or unstable patient.

CT angiography across the body benefits from a table speed that keeps pace with a contrast bolus rather than falling behind it.

Paediatric imaging is supported by short acquisition times, which reduces the interval a child must stay still and the frequency of repeat scanning.

Pulmonary and high-resolution chest work uses 0.625 mm detector elements with isotropic reformatting in any plane.

Forty Millimetres in One Rotation

Sixty-four rows at 0.625 mm cover 40 mm of anatomy per rotation, so an organ falls within a single short acquisition.

A Table That Keeps Pace With the Bolus

Advancing at up to 137.5 mm per second allows an angiographic study to follow contrast rather than trail it.

Fewer Seams in the Dataset

Wider coverage per rotation means fewer passes to assemble an organ, and fewer opportunities for misregistration between them.

A Heart in About Five Beats

Cardiac acquisition across roughly five heartbeats with a minimum temporal resolution of 175 milliseconds.

Exposure Confined to the Cardiac Window

SnapShot Pulse acquires prospectively, exposing only within the selected part of the cycle, with ECG-based modulation available alongside.

Coverage Extended for Dynamic Studies

VolumeShuttle shuttles the table to cover a wider region for perfusion and other dynamic work, where licensed.

Heat Capacity for Long Lists

A Performix Pro tube with 8.0 MHU storage and oil and air cooling supports sustained output through repeated angiographic work.

Sub-Millimetre Isotropic Data

Detector elements at 0.625 mm produce isotropic voxels for reformatting in any plane and for three-dimensional work.

Rotation Speed Matched to the Study

Selectable rotation times mean routine work need not run at cardiac speeds, which bears on both dose and tube loading.

Scan Range to 200 cm

170 cm as standard with 200 cm available, on a table taking 227 kg.

Licences and Tube Life Documented

This GE LightSpeed VCT was built in 2010, and the case for it is how much anatomy one rotation captures. Where coverage is narrow an organ is assembled from passes taken at different moments, and the seams show as misregistration when a patient breathes or a contrast bolus moves on. Sixty-four detector rows at 0.625 mm give 40 mm of coverage per rotation with the table advancing at up to 137.5 mm per second, so an organ falls within about a second, a whole-body trauma survey completes in the order of ten, and an angiographic study keeps pace with the bolus. Cardiac work is acquired across roughly five heartbeats at a minimum temporal resolution of 175 milliseconds, with SnapShot Pulse exposing only within the selected part of the cycle and ECG-based modulation alongside, while VolumeShuttle extends coverage for perfusion and other dynamic studies where licensed.
