GE的新一代機器---高解像度CT(revolution CT)能看到骨骼及內髒器驚人的細節。期待它早日進入臨床。目前West Kendall Baptist Hospital已完成六個月的臨床試驗，對其評價不錯。便於那些最具挑戰性的不穩定或高心跳的兒童心髒病患者的診斷和減少輻射劑量使用。
The team at West Kendall Baptist Hospital recently completed the world’s first six-month clinical trial of the Revolution CT machine. Local doctors said they were able to diagnose even the most challenging cardiac patients with erratic or high heartbeats and reduce the radiation dose for pediatric patients.
“According to our physicians, patient feedback about their experience with the Revolution CT has been uniformly positive,” said West Kendall Baptist Hospital CEO Javier Hernández-Lichtl. “The advanced design definitely makes for a less intimidating, more comfortable patient experience, while yielding amazingly accurate and detailed images.”
