The capability of
tomorrow’s CT platform
To create a high-performance system today that is ready for the future,
the Revolution Apex platform was designed with a “future-ready”
philosophy and equipped with the best available technologies for
every component of the imaging chain. We started with the ultra-fast,
ultra-scalable Gemstone™ Clarity Detector. We paired that with the
incredible power of our Quantix™ X-ray Tube for wide coverage as well
as the fastest gantry speed in the industry and next-generation spectral
imaging. No matter which Revolution Apex platform system you choose,
you’ll experience the benefits of this state-of-the-art hardware.
