Conventional 2D neural networks can only process one single image at a time, which may affect the image continuity and lead to missing structural details around lesions. In contrast, 3D neural networks support volumetric data input, maintaining data continuity while improving reconstruction speed, accuracy, and reliability.

Leveraging more than one million images across diverse clinical scenarios, DELTA delivers whole-body low dose imaging with fine anatomical details.

During the training of neural networks, data propagation and correction are crucial factors for algorithm accuracy. Traditional network structures involve single-layer data propagation, whereas the specialized network design enables dense connections and efficient data propagation between different layers of network, preserving image details even at low radiation dose.

The organ-based auto ALARA mA automatically recognizes the coordinate regions of the chest and abdomen to optimize dose modulation parameters for different organs. When compared to using a single protocol for chest and abdomen imaging, this technology delivers higher image quality while maintaining a reasonable dose.

Easy Range automatically recommends the scan range for each patient based on the selected protocols. By accurately determining the scan range, it enhances work efficiency and helps reduce radiation dose, while supporting a wide range of protocols for different body areas.

Motion freeze reduces artifacts caused by head motion, minimizes the likelihood of repeat scans, and thus decreases the associated radiation exposure.

uAI Vision, based on powerful deep learning algorithms, can identify 19 anatomical landmarks on the human body. It is able to match all scanning protocols, which covers multiple clinical scenarios. Furthermore, it can even provides real-time tracking of patient movements, avoiding the resulted artificial errors, which could potentially increase the radiation dose and impact on image quality.

uAI Vision achieves precise iso-center positioning by automatically adjusting the table height in response to the patient positions, resulting in high-quality CT images and reducing patients' surface dose.

With deep learning, uAI Vision* streamlines the patient positioning process and achieves more than 60% saving compared to manual operations, offering a simple and easy-to-use workflow.

At lower tube voltages, the mass attenuation coefficient increases, leading to higher contrast between vessels and surrounding tissues with the same concentration of iodinated contrast agent. Therefore, scanning at 70 kV not only enhances vascular contrast but also reduces the amount of contrast medium required and lowers radiation exposure. Combined with Auto ALARA kVp, which automatically selects tube voltage based on patient size and scanning protocol, providing tailored imaging with high-quality results.

The uCT 550 features a high heat capacity X-ray tube (5.3 MHU), allowing for large range angiography scans. With a maximum anode heat dissipation rate of up to 815 kHU/min, the system supports high patient throughput and maintains a smooth clinical workflow. Furthermore, the X-ray tube shows great reliability with consistent imaging results and extended durability.

Vascular analysis can effectively perform bone removal for different vessel segments based on various protocols, including those for head, torso, and low extremity. It also accurately extracts small vessels, such as cranial segments and tiny aneurysms. Additionally, it provides automatic measurements of vessel diameter, area, and distances for in-depth vascular analysis.

To improve the success rate of coronary CTA scans, the uCT 550 optimizes the workflow with advanced technologies. An AI-based 3D camera facilitates accurate positioning and ISO-center alignment while automatically recommending the precise scan range. The advanced phase selection technology for reconstruction significantly enhances image quality. The post processing software* offers automated vessel extraction and segmentation, as well as stenosis, plaque, and cardiac function analysis.

CardioXphase determines the optimal phase by assessing both shape regularity and edge sharpness of the extracted vessels, resulting in selecting the phase that best represents the optimal image quality of the dedicated coronary arteries. For uCT 550, data acquisition of the whole heart requires multiple cardiac cycles. This implies that different cardiac cycles have different optimal phases, especially in the case of irregular heart rhythms.

DELTA reconstruction lowers the lung CT radiation dose while significantly enhancing image quality. This helps the detection of lung nodules and boosts diagnostic confidence.

The Z-detector utilizes a fully-integrated design for noise reduction, combined with 0.55 mm fine detector elements, significantly enhancing spatial resolution and optimizing imaging quality.

The application enables the detection, segmentation, and measurement of lung nodules, including solid, mixed ground-glass opacities (MGGO), and ground-glass opacities (GGO). It supports the marking and segmentation of regions of interest, along with automatic parameter statistics. Additionally, it offers follow-up analysis capabilities and provides automated structured reporting for efficient decision-making.

The spatial resolution of a CT image is typically constrained by hardware limitations of the CT system, such as detector pixel size or focal spot size. However, within these constraints, spatial resolution can be altered by user-selected reconstruction parameters. Displaying higher spatial resolution requires smaller image voxel sizes, necessitating the use of a larger image matrix.

MAC is a robust reconstruction algorithm that is able to efficiently suppress the metal artifacts while preserving and restoring the metal object itself as well as the obscured adjacent anatomic structures.

The uCT 550 provides dedicated post-processing applications for rib and spine analysis. For the spine, the software offers automatic disc labeling and reconstruction, enables accurate location of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae, along with batch processing of multiple disc datasets. For the ribs, the software provides automatic rib labeling, various layout options for single or multiple ribs, and CPR straightening for improved visualization.
