© UKJ ◼  COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY The University Hospital Jena (UKJ) is the first one in Germany and one of the first in Europe to use the GE Revolution CT for faster diagnostics in an emergency center. Thanks to innovative technology, several steps of the examination can now be done in one single scan, exposing the patient to a quite low radiation dose. Designed for rapid trauma assessment The Revolution CT is designed to deliver rapid and comprehensive trauma assess- ment through fast scanning and dedicated scan modes such as the possibility to scan multiple anatomical regions in a single exam. It also contains elaborate review tools such An outstanding system for emergency centers: the GE Revolution CT as the real-time image reconstruction for instant access to scan results and new inter- face capabilities to facilitate image review. „Especially in the emergency unit it is crucial to get a detailed view of the patient in a short period of time, i.e. in case of cor- onary diseases or apolectic stroke. With the new CT we could extend the scope of examinations in radiology at the University Hospital Jena and further improve our patient care” said PD Dr. Jens Maschmann, Medical Director of UKJ. The comprehensive solution for cardiovascular imaging The Revolution CT with 160 mm Gemstone Clarity Detector delivers outstanding cover- age: the whole heart can be captured within a single beat acquisition. In addition it offers maximum temporal and spatial resolution (24ms/0.23mm)whichresultsindiagnostic confidence even in challenging clinical applications such as: quantifying plaque burden to determine the degree of obstruc- tive CAD, assessing stent restenosis and vessel patency or making decision-critical measurements for aortic valve repair. Prof. Dr. Ulf Teichgräber, Director of Radiology at UKJ, added: „Thanks to this technology, we can now capture coronary vessels, aorta and lung in less than one second. The Revolution CT is a milestone in our diagnostics of patients with coro- nary diseases, apolectic stroke and strongly injured patients from traffic accidents.” Faster clinical diagnostics, rapid trauma assessment and better patient care at University Hospital Jena RADBOOK 2016 18
