The GE LightSpeed is a third-generation multi-slice helical CT
scanner featuring a 53 kW generator, a 6.3 MHU tube, and a fast
gantry rotation time of 0.5 seconds.
The LightSpeed 16 is capable of imaging 16 slices per rotation with
main collimators of 16 x 0.63 mm and 16 x 1.25 mm. In addition, 2 x
0.63, 1 x 1.25, 1 x 5, 4 x 3.75, 8 x 1.25 and 8 x 2.5 mm slice
modes are also available. It has 24 parallel rows of solid-state
detectors covering 20 mm in the z-direction at the isocenter. The
main difference between the LightSpeed 16 and previous models is
that the data acquisition system has been upgraded to record 16
channels of data simultaneously. In addition, the detector matrix
has been re-designed so that the central 8 rows have been divided
in two to give 16 x 0.63 mm slices.
The LightSpeed Ultra is capable of imaging 8 slices per rotation
with slice widths of 8 x 1.25 mm and 8 x 2.5 mm, as well as four
slice acquisitions from 4 x 1.25 mm to 4 x 5 mm slices. Also
available are 2 x 0.63 mm and 1 x 1.25 mm slice modes. It has 16
parallel rows of solid-state detectors covering 20 mm in the
z-direction at the isocenter.
