Revolution EVO 128-Slice Reconstruction & Image Quality

The GE Revolution EVO 128 combines GE’s Clarity Imaging Chain with overlapping reconstruction to support detailed CT interpretation. Its 128-slice capability provides closely spaced reconstructed images from 64-channel acquisition without requiring 128 physical detector rows.

128-Slice Reconstruction from 64-Channel Acquisition

The Revolution EVO 128 acquires data through 64 detector channels covering 40 mm (1.57 in) of anatomy per rotation. GE’s conjugate cone-beam back-projection technology uses complementary X-ray measurements to improve image detail along the length of the patient.

Compatible axial acquisition and overlapping reconstruction can generate up to 128 image sections per rotation. These closely spaced reconstructions support detailed review of small vessels, fine bone structures, and other anatomy in coronal, sagittal, and three-dimensional views.

The 128-slice designation describes reconstruction capability rather than twice the physical detector coverage. Available reconstruction output varies by acquisition mode and settings, making the scanner’s installed capabilities an important part of system selection.

Clarity Imaging Chain for Fine Anatomical Detail

GE’s Clarity Imaging Chain combines the detector, data acquisition system, X-ray tube, and reconstruction technologies to manage image noise, resolution, and artifacts.

Its components include:

• • Clarity Detector: Captures thin-slice measurements across 40 mm (1.57 in) of anatomical coverage, with acquired slice thickness down to 0.625 mm (0.025 in).
  • Clarity Data Acquisition System: Processes detector measurements using technology designed to reduce electronic noise and support consistent reconstruction.
  • Performix 40 Plus X-Ray Tube: Provides X-ray output and heat-management capabilities for routine and advanced examinations.
  • ASiR-V Reconstruction: Available advanced processing that reduces image noise while preserving diagnostically useful anatomical detail.

Together, these technologies support spatial resolution as fine as 0.28 mm (0.011 in), useful for vascular, musculoskeletal, and other examinations requiring detailed anatomical evaluation.

0.35-Second Rotation & High-Pitch Scanning

Compatible Revolution EVO configurations complete a gantry rotation in as little as 0.35 seconds, helping limit motion-related image distortion during cardiac, vascular, and time-sensitive examinations.

Available high-pitch helical scanning, with pitch values up to 1.531, advances the patient table farther during each rotation to cover longer anatomical regions more quickly. This can reduce acquisition time and breath-hold requirements during selected examinations.

Rotation speed and high-pitch capabilities depend on the installed configuration.

 

Revolution EVO 128 Reconstruction & Dose Management

The Revolution EVO supports technologies designed to balance anatomical detail with patient-specific radiation-dose management. Available reconstruction software reduces image noise, while exposure controls help technologists tailor scanning parameters to the patient and examination.

ASiR-V for Image Clarity & Dose Optimization

Revolution EVO configurations may include different generations of iterative reconstruction technology, which uses computational processing to reduce image noise while preserving diagnostic detail.

• • ASiR: Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction reduces image noise and supports diagnostic image quality at appropriately selected radiation-dose settings.
  • ASiR-V: Advanced reconstruction that incorporates additional image and physics modeling to improve low-contrast visibility and noise reduction. Under specified comparative testing conditions, ASiR-V demonstrated radiation-dose reductions of up to 82% compared with conventional filtered back projection at equivalent image quality.
  • TrueFidelity: Deep-learning image reconstruction available on certain eligible later-generation or upgraded configurations. It uses trained reconstruction methods to reduce noise while preserving anatomical appearance.

ASiR-V and TrueFidelity require compatible hardware, software, and licenses. Actual image-quality and dose benefits vary with patient anatomy and clinical protocols.

Patient-Specific Exposure & Dose Monitoring

Compatible Revolution EVO configurations provide automated controls to help manage radiation exposure during scanning.

• • AutomA & SmartmA: Adjust X-ray tube current according to patient anatomy and body thickness, supporting consistent imaging across different anatomical regions.
  • Organ Dose Modulation: Adjusts exposure during selected examinations to help manage radiation reaching sensitive anatomical structures.
  • Dose Check: Provides configurable alerts and notifications when planned radiation-dose parameters reach established thresholds.
  • Dose Reporting: Records examination dose information for compatible institutional monitoring and quality-assurance workflows.

These technologies complement iterative reconstruction by managing exposure during image acquisition.

Smart MAR & Image Artifact Reduction

The Revolution EVO offers available processing technologies that address image distortion caused by metal implants, dense anatomy, and certain scanning conditions.

• • Smart Metal Artifact Reduction (Smart MAR): Reduces streaks and distortions caused by metallic implants, improving visibility around joint replacements and surgical hardware.
  • Advanced Artifact Reduction (AAR): Helps reduce certain streak artifacts associated with highly attenuating anatomy.
  • IQ Enhance: Reduces certain helical reconstruction artifacts during compatible higher-pitch examinations.

These functions address different sources of image distortion and require appropriate installed software.

 

Revolution EVO 128 Patient Access & Scanning Coverage

The Revolution EVO combines a 70 cm gantry opening with motorized positioning and multiple patient-table configurations. These options help facilities accommodate different patient sizes, examination requirements, and anatomical coverage needs.

70 cm Gantry & Patient Positioning

The scanner features a 70 cm (27.6 in) gantry opening, tilt capability of up to 30° in either direction, and a maximum scan field of view of 50 cm (19.7 in).

Motorized positioning and compatible gantry controls help technologists prepare patients for routine and advanced examinations.

Patient Table Capacity & Available Configurations

Documented Revolution EVO table options include:

• • VT1700V Table: Supports patients up to 500 lb (227 kg), with a maximum axial scannable range of 173 cm (68.1 in).
  • VT2000 Table: Supports patients up to 500 lb (227 kg), with a maximum axial scannable range of 200 cm (78.7 in).
  • VT2000x Table: Accommodates patients up to 675 lb (306 kg), with a maximum axial scannable range of 200 cm (78.7 in).

Helical and scout scanning ranges differ from the maximum axial figures. Table selection also determines patient capacity, positioning options, and compatible accessories.

MXR Imaging helps facilities identify a configuration suited to their patient population and clinical requirements.

  • Image Check: Supports timely image review during examination completion.
  • Xtream Display & One Stop Scanning: Provide selected patient, protocol, and examination controls at the gantry to reduce repetitive setup tasks.

Compatible console upgrades can provide reconstruction speeds of up to 50 images per second. This describes image-processing throughput rather than physical scanning speed.

Contrast Timing & Clinical Connectivity

Available technologies support contrast-enhanced scanning and integration with clinical imaging systems.
