SnapShot Pulse

GE's prospective ECG-gated cardiac CT acquisition mode. Synchronizes scan timing to cardiac phase, reducing dose vs retrospective gating.

Why it matters to buyers: Cardiac CT capability. If you're buying a CT for cardiac imaging, SnapShot Pulse (or the vendor equivalent) is a required feature.

Why it matters to engineers: Requires cardiac license + ECG hardware. Beta-blockade protocols are typical prep.
