every time. disease, trauma, or abnormality, and for planning, guiding, and
monitoring therapy.
Revolution Apex delivers an uncompromised set of clinical solu-
tions for your most challenging patients to ensure you achieve
your best images for all patients:
• 1-beat Cardiac at any heart rate, even in Atrial Fibrillation.
• High resolution coronary imaging, even for patients with
heavily calcified coronaries.
• Low kV TAVI planning, even for patients with impaired re-
nal function.
• Dynamic whole-heart myocardial perfusion, without the
need to shuttle the table.
• Low kV imaging, even for adults and obese patients.
• Uncompromised image quality for excessively obese pa-
tients.
• Low-dose chest CT within one second for patients who can
not hold their breath
• Acute ischemia stroke CT workup in less than 5 minutes3.
• Pediatric imaging, with minimal need for sedation.
Revolution Apex has been designed with future upgradability as
a key goal to ensure longevity of the state of the art technology
to help you continually provide best in class care to your pa-
tients.

Scan Modes and

Image Reconstruction

The Revolution Apex system can perform virtually any clinical

application due to its wide variety of scan modes: Scout, Axial,
Helical, Cine, Cardiac Axial.

Scout Scan
Scout imaging is used for anatomical location in conjunction
with scan and recon prescription, to provide an anatomical
cross-reference for axial images, and to provide quick feedback
to the user as the anatomy is scanned. Scout supports the fol-
lowing features:

• Scouts longer than 1,000 mm are auto

Scout scan based Smart Patient Centering

The smart patient centering feature helps to detect suboptimal
centering prior to the diagnostic scan. When scout is acquired,
the system will assess patient centering. If the patient is off-
centered greater than 2 cm, the system will display the table
height location and an up or down arrow to indicate the eleva-
tion change needed to reach that height.

Scan Modes and

Image Reconstruction

Cardiac Axial
Cardiac Axial acquisition is a prospectively ECG-gated scan
mode, where the heart rate is monitored and the R-Peak trig-
gers the acquisition of data for a specified range of phases in
the cardiac cycle (using R-peak to R-peak phase percent or ms
after R-peak).

Auto gating
When Auto Gating is enabled, the system uses the heart rate
measurements from the most recent breath hold recording
with the Auto Gating Profile table, to automatically recommend
the optimal phase, phases, or phase ranges, even handling the
uncertainty associated with some heart-rate irregularities.
Even bolus timing and tracking are efficient and preditable.
