New computed tomography (CT) technology can improve patient outcomes while cutting the cost of providing care.

Revolution EVO, developed by GE Healthcare (Chalfont St. Giles, UK), is designed to support a very wide variety of patients and applications, from complicated trauma or cardiac patients, to large patient backlogs in demanding emergency departments that strain workflows and resources. The system provides high resolution and low dose.

The Revolution EVO’s new Clarity imaging system provides up to 100% better spatial resolution over earlier GE CT scanners. The ASiR-V iterative reconstruction feature lowers dose up to 82% for patients of all ages, while still being able to maintain work processes. In clinical practice, the use of ASiR-V (adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction-V) may reduce CT patient dose, depending on the clinical task, patient size, anatomic location, and clinical practice.

The technology, with more intelligence and automation from patient preparation through postprocessing, can provide up to 40% increased workflow efficiency. Services can be expanded with advanced studies such as transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) planning, high heart rate cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA), and patients with implants.
