First In Nation to Receive GE Revolution Low-Dose CT Scanner

Primary Children’s Imaging Department is excited to be the first, free-standing children’s hospital in the country equipped with the new GE Revolution low-dose CT Scanner. This brand new scanner reduces radiation exposure by as much as 82% through innovative Smart Dose Technologies. This contributes to more accurate diagnosis and lowers exposure for patients across standard and advanced exams.

The Revolution CT can scan the entire abdomen and pelvis in less than one second – reducing the need for sedation, and minimizing breath hold time for patients. It can also capture high resolution cardiac imaging at any heart rate.

Low-Dose CT Scanner Technology Helps Reduce Stress

“Having great partners, like GE, creating technology like this ensures our patient’s safety, health and comfort,” said Brian Davis, Imaging Manager. “Our entire team is committed to making imaging procedures less stressful for families, and limiting the exposure of patients to radiation. Having the latest technology available, helps us accomplish that.”

GE worked to design a low-dose CT scanner with more thought towards what the patients sees, hears, and feels. Additionally, Primary Children’s developed a fun, pirate island theme that will help kids feel less intimidated by the scanner. The powerfully quiet, split second scanning of the Revolution CT will be a welcome addition to Primary Children’s imaging team.
