GE Revolution Apex

Family: Revolution CT

Top-tier GE CT. 256-slice detector, 160 mm Z-axis coverage in a single rotation — enables single-heartbeat cardiac imaging and whole-organ dynamic perfusion studies without helical sweep. 0.23 sec rotation (fastest in the Revolution family) supports high-heart-rate cardiac imaging without beta-blockade in many patients.

Clinical positioning

Competes with Siemens Force (dual-source), Canon Aquilion ONE (320-slice), and Philips iCT in the premium CT segment. Academic medical centers, high-volume cardiac programs, and large hospitals with advanced oncology / neuro workflows are the typical buyers.
