GE Revolution HD

Family: Revolution CT

64-slice Revolution-generation CT. Positioned as the successor to the VCT XT at the same broad clinical scope — cardiac, body, neuro, trauma — but with Revolution detector + tube + reconstruction improvements.

Clinical positioning

Workhorse 64-slice CT for hospitals and imaging centers that want Revolution-era dose performance (ASiR-V, DLIR) and cardiac imaging without stepping up to the 256-slice Apex tier. Most refurbished Revolution HDs on the market today come from centers that upgraded to Revolution Apex or swapped brands.

Specs

  • 64 slices · 70 cm gantry
  • 0.28 sec minimum rotation
  • Gemstone detector · 40 mm Z-axis
  • Gemstone Performix tube (higher heat capacity than Performix Pro VCT)
  • ASiR-V dose reduction (licensed)
  • SnapShot Pulse cardiac gating
  • Volume Shuttle for perfusion studies

Parts

(Detector is Gemstone class — see Gemstone detector.)

Relationship to VCT XT

Chassis / detector / tube are different generation. A VCT XT and a Revolution HD look similar on the outside; their parts lists don't overlap. Don't plan cross-compatibility.
