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

images were similar to the HU values in the non-contrast im-

Monochromatic images (MC)


Because of the nearly coincident spatial co-registration of the
two energy datasets, GSI Xtream allows effective reconstruc-
tion of virtual monochromatic images (MC) from the projection
data.
The resultant MC images, ranging from 40 keV to 140 keV, de-

chromatic beam, and the x-ray energy is measured in kiloelec-
tron volts (keV) instead of peak kilovoltage (kVp).
These single photon–energy images provide more reliable at-

In general, MC images depict more subtle contrast enhance-
ment and have improved attenuation than the default poly-
chromatic images of single-energy CT.

Scan Modes and


Image Reconstruction

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).

Scan Modes and


Image Reconstruction

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.
