ASiR-VTM*
ASiR-V is the newest technology in GE’s family of industry-leading iterative
reconstruction techniques.

ASiR-V allows healthcare providers to lower dose by 50 to 82% as compared

to standard filtered back-projection (FBP) reconstruction at the same image
quality3+

ASiR-V combines the speed of ASiR with additional capabilities from Veo, GE’s
full model-based iterative reconstruction technology. By applying more
advanced modeling and optimization technologies in projection- and image-
space as part of the iterative reconstruction process. ASiR-V provides dose
reduction well beyond that of ASiR, while maintaining low-contrast
detectability, like Veo.

ASiR-V extends the advanced noise and dose reduction technologies of ASiR.
Existing iterative reconstruction, such as ASiR, models the noise in a way that
is adaptive to the mA, kV and body habitus of the patient.

ASiR-V enhances the noise modeling of ASiR in two ways: 1) ASiR-V performs
sophisticated statistical modeling of the projection samples by taking into
account the confidence of each projection measurement in the
reconstruction process; and 2) ASiR-V incorporates the user’s special clinical
needs, such as enhanced spatial resolution, into the statistical treatment of
the samples.

Compared to ASiR, ASiR-V offers:

• Improved noise & dose performance beyond what is possible with
ASiR.
• Improved spatial resolution without compromise in image noise.
• Reduced streak artifacts due to better handling of photon-starvation
with its unique adaptive restoration algorithm.

Lower dose

ASiR-V reduces dose by 50% to 82% relative to FBP at the same image
quality2

Low contrast detectability improvement

ASiR-V improves low contrast detectability by 59% to 135% at the same

dose+

Image Noise improvement

ASiR-V reduces image noise up to 91% at the same dose+

Spatial resolution enhancement

ASiR-V improves spatial resolution up to 2.07X (107%) at same image noise+

Artifact reduction

ASiR-V image reconstruction has the capability to reduce low signal artifact
such as streak artifact compared to FBP+


In clinical practice, the use of ASiR-V 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. Low Contrast Detectability (LCD), Image Noise, Spatial Resolution
and Artifact were assessed using reference factory protocols comparing ASiR-
V and FBP. The LCD measured in 0.625 mm slices and tested for both head

 Utilizing ASiR, images obtained can have equivalent image

performance to an acquisition with up to 1.67 times the mA

 ASiR enables up to 40% shorter acquisition times with faster rotation

Note: In clinical practice, the use of ASiR may reduce CT patient dose and
improve low contrast detectability 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.

High helical pitch

Revolution EVO allows users to utilize helical pitches up to 1.531 and 0.35sec
rotation speed that meet GE’s image quality specifications for lower pitch
acquisitions. This higher pitch and 0.35sec rotation speed enables faster
scan times which may allow for shorter breadth holds, and may help to
avoid sedation, simultaneously (or “as well as”) reducing motion artifacts
from patient and organ movement. As an example, using this higher pitch, a
full-body trauma scan of 1000 mm can be acquired in as little as 6 seconds.

utilized. The additionally acquired dual energy data can be post-processed
on console or AW workstation using Add/Sub function to gain additional
clinical information.

IQ Enhance (Pitch Booster)

IQ Enhance (IQE) reconstruction reduces helical Artifact Index in thin slice
helical scanning. This reduction in artifacts makes it possible to scan at faster
helical pitches.

Overlapped reconstruction

For 64ch based system, the overlapped reconstruction feature enables 128
slices per rotation in axial scanning modes and delivers improved Z-axis
visualization performance relative to non-overlapped reconstruction.

For 32ch based system, the overlapped reconstruction feature enables 64

diagnostic quality without decreasing productivity (as the result of not using
externally applied shields).

Because attenuation data from the Scan Projection Radiograph is used to

determine the mA modulation for acquisitions using Automatic Exposure
Control, it is understood that when using externally applied shields that these
shields should not be put in place prior to acquiring the scan projection
radiograph(s). Placement of externally applied shielding prior to obtaining
the scan projection radiograph(s) may adversely affect the AEC performance.

3D mA Modulation utilizing SmartmA and AutomA

Having this kind of volumetric knowledge before you scan allows you to
personalize protocols and optimize dose for every patient – large and small.
During the scan, real-time, 3D dose modulation helps deliver consistent
image quality because it automatically accounts for the changing
dimensions of your patient’s anatomy. 3D mA modulation acquisitions may
reduce dose compared with fixed mA acquisitions. 4

4 mA modulation is designed to optimize the dose for the user prescribed noise index. Its effect on
dose depends on the patient body habitus, and prescribed noise setting.

information is gathered from the HIS/RIS using a DICOM connection.

Connect Pro can be customized to fit the department’s needs by using Learning Solution
"filters" to pull only the information in which the user is interested. It can
collect more than standard patient demographic information. The User Manual contains all the user information required to operate the
scanner. It has detailed information as well as step-by-step procedures. The
User Manual can be displayed on the Display monitor by clicking on the
Exam Split*
Learning Solution icon.

Exam Split provides customers with the capability to “split” a series of patient
images into separate groups. These new smaller image groups can then be
networked to desired reading stations for multiple “reads” and multiple
billings on select patient exams.

 Energy Saving

GE Healthcare’s High Efficiency CT systems are designed to reduce electricity

consumption for operation and ambient cooling by optimizing energy use
based on a customer's usage profile. The Revolution EVO system and its
associated site cooling systems consume approximately 48,200 kWh of
electricity per year, about 29% less than the previous-generation GE system
it replaces. For customers actively pursuing energy efficiency strategies, use
of the innovative Energy Saving Mode software during evenings and
weekends when the CT system is not in use can reduce annual electricity
consumption by an additional 19,100 kWh, or a total of 58% per system
compared to the previous-generation GE system.
