1Intelligent motion correction with SnapShot™ Freeze is designed to reduce blurring artifacts due to motion in coronary vessels that cannot be addressed by gantry speed alone. A 6x improvement of
motion-blur reduction while maintaining high spatial resolution is demonstrated in cardiac phantom testing. The reduction in motion artifacts is comparable to a 0.058s Equivalent Gantry Rotation
Speed with effective temporal resolution of 29 msec, as demonstrated in mathematical phantom testing.
2In clinical practice, the use of ASiR-V may reduce CT patient dose depending on the clinical task, patient size, anatomical location and clinical practice. A consultation with a radiologist and a physicist
should be made to determine the appropriate dose to obtain diagnostic image quality for the particular clinical task.

Gemstone Scintillator
The Gemstone Clarity Detector enables high definition CT imag-
ing with a revolutionary, extremely fast scintillator. The scintilla-
tor material is an isotropic ceramic with cubic structure– highly
uniform and translucent. (Cubic structures offer better trans-
parency to that of Gadolinium Oxysulfide (GOS) which has a
hexagonal lattice).
The relative speed of the scintillator enables High Definition
technologies such as High Resolution imaging capability, with
less noise and the ability to perform fast kV switching that may
enable applications such as dual energy acquisitions.
• Scintillator speed: 0.03μs (100times faster than GOS)
• Afterglow: 0.001% (4 times lower than GOS)
• Radiation damage: 0.03% (20 times less than GOS)
• Scatter to Primary Ratio: <10%
• Detection efficiency: 98% @120kVp

31 Image quality comparisons between DLIR and ASiR-V, were evaluated by phantom tests of MTF, SSP, axial NPS, standard deviation of image noise, CT Number accuracy, CNR, and artefact analysis.
Additionally, LCD was demonstrated in phantom testing using a model observer with the head and body MITA CT IQ Phantoms (CT191, CT189 The Phantom Laboratory). DLIR and ASiR-V reconstruc-
tions were performed using the same raw data.
32as demonstrated in a clinical evaluation consisting of 60 cases and 9 physicians, where each case was reconstructed with both DLIR and ASiR-V and evaluated by 3 of the physicians. In 100% of the
reads, DLIR’s image sharpness was rated the same as or better than ASiR-V’s. This rating was based on each individual reader’s preference.
33as demonstrated in a clinical evaluation consisting of 60 cases and 9 physicians, where each case was reconstructed with both DLIR and ASiR-V and evaluated by 3 of the physicians. In 91% of the
reads, DLIR’s noise texture was rated better than ASiR-V’s. This rating was based on each individual reader’s preference.
34 Deep Learning Image Reconstruction for GSI is a purchasable option. Not 510(k) cleared, not commercially available in US.
35Reduced image noise: demonstrated in testing using the uniform section of the Catphan® 600 with the CTP579 oval body annulus comparing pixel standard deviation in images reconstructed from
the same raw data, at 0.625 mm with DLIR-H and ASiR-V 50%.
36Improved contrast-noise-ratio: Demonstrated in testing using images of the CT ACR 464 Phantom (Gammex) and its 25 mm low contrast cylinder reconstructed from the same raw data with DLIR-L,
DILR-M, and DLIR-H and ASiR-V 50%.
37Improved low contrast detectability: Evaluated using the body MITA CT IQ Low Contrast Phantom (CCT189, the Phantom Laboratory) with the CTP579 oval body annulus and a model observer with
images reconstructed from the same raw data with DLIR-H and ASiR-V 50%.
38Preferred image noise texture: Demonstrated in a clinical evaluation consisting of 40 cases and 5 physicians, where each case was reconstructed with both Deep Learning Image Reconstruction for
GSI and ASiR-V and evaluated by 3 of the physicians. In 88% of the reads, DLIR’s noise texture was rated better than ASiR-V’s. This rating was based on each individual reader’s preference.
40 Material Density quantification accuracy: Demonstrated using the water, Iodine (5, 10, 15, and 20 mg/ml), and 30% CaCO3 inserts in the Gammex Multi-Energy CT Phantom and reconstructed materi -
al basis pairs (Water/Iodine, Calcium/Iodine, HAP/Iodine, Fat/Iodine, Water/Calcium, Water/HAP, HAP/Uric Acid, Uric Acid/Calcium, Calcium/Uric Acid, and Water/Fat. The reconstructions were per-
formed on the same raw data with DLIR-H and ASiR-V 50%.
41 CT number accuracy: Demonstrated with images in air, a 20 cm water phantom, and a 30 cm water phantom reconstructed from the same raw data with DLIR-H and ASiR- V 50%.
Iodine concentration detection: as low as 0.5 mg/ml in density at a dose as low as 8 mGy, evaluated the head portion of the Gammex Multi-Energy CT Phantom with water and 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, and 0.5

Cine scan
Cine is a method of scanning that rotates the gantry 360° con-
tinuously with no delay in between passes while gathering in-
put from one location over time. You may set the acquisition in
groups expanding the time to be scanned. This is especially
beneficial when determining the function of anatomy and phys-
iology (example: hemangioma).
mA 10 to 740, 5 mA increments
Cardiac Axial
Cardiac Axial acquisition is a prospectively ECG-gated scan
mode, where the heart rate is monitored and the R-Peak trig-
gers the acquisition of data for a specified range of phases in
the cardiac cycle (using R-peak to R-peak phase percent or ms
after R-peak).
Auto gating
When Auto Gating is enabled, the system uses the heart rate
measurements from the most recent breath hold recording
with the Auto Gating Profile table, to automatically recommend
the optimal phase, phases, or phase ranges, even handling the
uncertainty associated with some heart-rate irregularities.
Even bolus timing and tracking are efficient and preditable.
