GE releases low-dose CT technology
GE Healthcare’s Veo, a low-dose CT technology, recently received FDA 510(k) clearance and is now available in the U.S. The CT technology utilizes model-based iterative reconstruction, and is available on GE Discovery CT750 HD systems in Europe, Canada and parts of Asia.
Users in Europesaid that the chest CTs done with a Veo produce the same amount of medical radiation dose as a chest x-ray, according to GE. The company is coordinating a multicenter study to investigate new improvements, including substantially lower dose levels.
