 At GE Healthcare CT, we believe great care happens by design.

So when we set out to design the new Optima CT520 scanner,

we started with a broad vision: to help healthcare providers
deliver the best patient care.

We listened to your recommendations and responded with a

next generation, intelligent 32 slice CT scanner that sets a new
standard for clinical excellence and diagnostic versatility.
Customer-inspired enhancements include superb image quality
with advanced dose optimizing features. Streamlined workflows
to help you better manage your daily routine. And a host of
technological innovations, such as Smart Dose, Smart Flow and
more.

Smart Dose

Smart Dose – ASiR*1

ASiR* (Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction) dose reduction technology: A reconstruction

technology that may enable reduction in pixel noise standard deviation. The ASiR reconstruction
algorithm may allow for reduced mA in the acquisition of diagnostic images, thereby reducing the
dose required.1
ASiR may enable improvement in low contrast detectability.2

1.In clinical practice, the use of ASiR 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.
ASiR is licensed for use with a GE x-ray tube. Use of a third party x-ray tube will require an additional
license* for this feature.
*This is a no fee license. However, there may be a nominal cost incurred for license installation.

2 In clinical practice, the actual level of LCD improvement may vary. Consult with a radiologist and a
physicist.

Smart Dose – VISR3

Neuro 3D Filter (aka Volumetric Image Space Reconstruction (VISR)) is a 3D filter that is intended to
reduce image noise (pixel standard deviation) and attempts to preserve spatial resolution during
smoothing. This provides clear visualization in neuro imaging, to deliver diagnostic image quality with
potentially lower mA.

3. In clinical practice, the use of VISR 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

When ASiR is installed, 3D Neuro filter will be disabled.

 Smart Dose – Opti-Dose

Opti-Dose
Dose Check Provides the user tools to guide dose given in clinical practice and is
based on the standard XR-25-2010 published by the Association of
Electrical and Medical Imaging Equipment Manufacturers (NEMA).
Dose Check provides the following
- Checking against a Notification Value if the estimated dose for the
scan is above your site typical dose value
- Checking against an Alert Value where the user needs specific
authority to continue the scan at the current estimated dose without
changing the scan parameters.
- Defining Alert Values for Adult and Pediatric with age threshold
- Audit logging and review
- Protocol Change Control
DICOM Dose reporting In conjunction with Prospective display of CTDIvol, DLP and Dose
Efficiency, helping clinicians reach ALARA dose, and keep track of it.
Dose computation and CTDIvol (CTDI volume), DLP (Dose Length Product), and Dose
display Efficiency computation and display during scan prescription provide
patient dose information to the operator.
Color coding for kids Providing pediatric scan protocols based on the Broselow-LutenTM
protocols Pediatric System, designed to facilitate pediatric emergency care
and reduce medical errors.
3D Dose modulation Before the scan, clinicians can select the desired Noise/IQ: CT then
tailored automatically exposure parameters, patient to patient and
real-time x-y-z during each scan, resulting in average of 40% dose
reduction
Beam tracking techniques Providing real-time X-ray follow-up, guarantying that high spatial
resolution is reached with no post-patient collimation and no dose
penalty.
Short gantry geometry In conjunction with Hyper generator and the Solarix X-Ray Tube
affords to get up to 350 mA and seamless throughput.

Smart Flow

Smart Flow – Xtream Display

Xtream Display is a multi-purpose LCD display.
Xtream Display can show basic patient information on Gantry
monitor. The user can confirm patient information in the scan
room improving workflow and reducing the opportunity for error.

Smart Flow – Default Patient Positioning (DPP)

Xtream Display provides workflow improvement by preset
positioning (Default patient positioning) on new gantry
display.
The Default patient positioning provides easy and simple
positioning. After set up patient on the table, the operator
touch target reference point button on Xtream Display,
then holding foot pedal. The table is transferred to the
target reference point.

5 ｜Optima CT520 Product Data Sheet Version 4.0

 Smart Flow – IQ Enhancement
IQ Enhancement (IQE) may reduce helical artifacts which are
important for image quality of thin-slice helical scans. The
Optima CT520 series scanner with this feature can accelerate
its helical pitch up to 70% (e.g. 0.562 to 1.75, @16slice) when
acquiring the same helical artifact level compared with the
same scanner with IQ Enhance disabled. This coverage speed
is equivalent to that of a 50-slice wider detector CT scanner at
same table speed

Smart Flow – Emergency Patient Mode

Optima CT520 series has a dedicated User Interface (UIF) for
emergency cases to start examination quickly. Patient Name
and Patient ID are assigned automatically. Once a protocol is
selected, scan setup interface displays.

Smart Flow - 10 PMRs

Prospective Multiple Reconstruction (PMR): Up to 10 sets of reconstructions can be pre-programmed as
part of the scan protocol prior to acquisition. The operator can select different start/end location, slice
thickness, interval, reconstruction algorithms and display fields of view for each reconstruction.

Smart Flow - Energy saving

With its Energy Saving Mode activated, GE's Optima CT520 Series scanner is designed to reduce
electricity consumption for operation and ambient cooling by more than 12,085kWh per machine
annually, an energy savings up to 40% compared to prior GE technology.

6 ｜Optima CT520 Product Data Sheet Version 4.0

 Smart Flow - Overlapped Reconstruction
The system need to have the overlapped
reconstruction feature, which enables 32 slices per
rotation in axial scanning modes and delivers
improved Z-axis visualization performance relative
to non-overlapped reconstruction.
