Advanced capability meets elegant simplicity. Incorporating the latest technologies such as spectral calibration that ensures and maintains high uniformity of image quality for entire field of view derived from GE Healthcare s advanced CT platforms, Brivo CT315 delivers all the essential functionality to meet your current and future clinical needs. From routine image review to high-level post processing, Brivo CT315 offers a wide range of applications. Combining performance with simplicity all in one easy-to-use system. VolumeViewer VolumeViewer is capable of combining multiple 3D rendering techniques such as surface, MIP, MinIp, RaySum and exclusive Integral rendering technique. This empowers the user to display the anatomical features and pathologies in its most natural settings allowing clinicians to view three-dimensional details the way they would like to see them. Volume Analysis allows you to manage 3D and 2D imaging in real time. Within the same display, you can review multiple acquisitions, associating 2D images with a variable slab thickness capability (Average, MIP, MinIP, Volume Rendering) according to the exam s requirements. Volume Analysis Reformat. With Multi-Planar Reconstruction (MPR), datasets can be presented in the axial, sagittal, coronal, and oblique planes for more confident assessment and diagnosis of sinus, chest, abdomen, inter-vertebral disc, and fractures. Multi-Projection Volume Reconstruction provides a quick and easy way to generate volumetric images to help you accurately enhance contrast and improve visualization of structures. Apply MIP (Maximum Intensity Projection) for vascular anatomy; MinIP (Minimum Intensity Projection) for airways and bronchi; or Average for head or abdominal examinations. The selected volume can be viewed from any selected plane and combined with variable slice thickness to help you clearly analyze lesions in the pancreas, renal arteries, and spine. 3D Surface, 3D MIP, and 3D Volume Rendering. Volume Rendering enhances three-dimensional visualization of imaged tissue using a translucent rendering. This rendering provides more information about spatial relationships of different structures than standard 3D surface rendering. So you can accurately and confidently interpret CT exams. Virtual Endoscopy provides a visualization of intra-luminal structures such as airways, colon, sinus, or vascular structures. Images can be viewed dynamically using a virtual fly through mode. The auto path threshold navigator mode allows you to go through tortuous and curved anatomy easily with simple click movement. CT Perfusion Enables stroke management through quick quantitative analysis of blood flow disturbances in the brain, including cerebral blood volume, cerebral blood flow, and mean transit time. The deconvolution algorithm used allows you to deliver parametric quantitative image of CBV, CBF and MTT apart from the routine color maps. 4 GE Healthcare Brivo CT315

Multi-Projection Volume Reconstruction Virtual Endoscopy Vessel Analysis DentaScan CT Colonography Provides quick, accurate, non-invasive colon exams. The wide clinical use of this noninvasive technique is useful in the detection of colonic polyps, masses, diverticula and those cases where distal colon is not visualized with conventional colonoscopy due to severe obstruction. Here prone and supine views are displayed and synchronized together, with real time Virtual Endoscopy to view the segment of colon under analysis. Bookmarking tools mark polyp location, and distance and ROI tools quantify size and homogeneity. Vessel Analysis Allows enhanced analysis of vascular features by automatically determining vessel centerline. Tracking multiple paths allows you to measure angles between branches. You can also view true oblique cross sections of vascular images, and rotate curved views to more clearly visualize vascular lesions. DentaScan Creates a comprehensive set of cross-referenced composite axial, panorex, and oblique planar reformations of the mandible and/ or maxilla. DentaScan gives you the information you need to plan dental implants or orthodontic surgery. Please contact your local sales representative for option availability. GE Healthcare Brivo CT315 5

Attainable and reliable. With its ultra-compact design, the Brivo CT315 fits easily into just about anywhere, including even the most confined operator or scan room. Boasting one of the smallest footprints on the market, this space-saving system allows you to fit more productivity into a smaller room. This small, easy-to-use system also helps you fit in more patients. By reducing the number of steps needed to position and release the patient, the table design helps streamline CT exam workflow and increase throughput. The Brivo CT315 delivers the speed, power, and resolution required for all types of routine CT applications. The reliability, high image quality, and effective productivity you need in a small compact design. Smart Addition can reduce artifact in brain studies, particularly around the posterior fossa area, by allowing you to prospectively add more axial or helical acquisitions, of specified thickness, image interval and helical pitch (if helical) to get one image. 8 GE Healthcare Brivo CT315

Auto ma modulates ma during both axial and helical scanning, maintaining image quality on each slice. This improves signal-to-noise ratio and optimizes dose by adapting the current to the absorption coefficient for each slice. On a traditional CT system, a constant tube current may be too high or too low because the absorption coefficient of X-rays varies for different tissues. The bowtie X-ray-beam-shaping filters used in GE scanners maintain more uniform X-ray at the detector, minimize surface dose, and reduce X-ray scatter. They have routinely achieved image quality with dose efficiencies. The beam-tracking system also contributes to higher dose efficiency, automatically measuring the position of the beam and adjusting the collimator using data transferred in real time from the detector. Because collimation is precisely adjusted to slice thickness, post-patient collimation is unnecessary, reducing dose. The high absorption efficiency (99%) and stability of GE detectors provide high image quality with optimized dose. Each tube is manufactured to withstand the rigors of exams that require a large number of scans, allowing less tube cooling time. For performance you can depend on, scan after scan, day after day.
