z-Sharp Technology

See the Difference

The revolutionary z-Sharp Technology has been designed to provide CT imaging with previously unknown sharpness, diagnostic detail, clarity and speed.

Previously unachievable image quality with up to 64 slices per rotation
Unprecedented diagnostic detail with the industry’s highest isotropic resolution of 0.33 mm voxel size - at highest volume coverage, at any position within the scan field - without increase in dose
Previously unknown sharpness and clarity with complete spiral artifact elimination

z-UHR* (z-Ultra High Resolution)

With our proprietary z-UHR Technology, we are pushing the boundaries of spatial resolution even further. For ultra-high resolution bone imaging, such as wrists, joints or inner ear studies, z-UHR provides unparalleled 0.24 mm isotropic resolution – until now only seen with research flat-panel and Micro CT technology.

STRATON^TM x-ray tube

A paradigm shift in X-ray tube technology

Up to 0.33 s gantry rotation speed for cardiac and whole-body imaging
High-speed, high-resolution submillimeter volume scanning (up to 87 mm/s)
Premium image quality for all patient sizes
Elimination of cooling delays maximizes patient throughput
One-year full warranty, not limited by scan-seconds or patient volume
Typically significantly longer tube life reduces life cycle cost

CARE Dose4D^TM

Our fully automated dose management system CARE Dose4D gives you the unparalleled combination of maximum image quality at minimum dose. The tube current is adapted in real-time and according to the anatomy of each individual patient’s organ, thus reducing dose of up to 68%**.
