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
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.
