Surpass
the everyday
potential of CT
One of the biggest challenges with today’s CT is that
conventional systems often lack the fine detail and
tissue composition needed to clearly characterize a
disease. This puts you in the position of having to order
additional follow-up tests to complete a diagnosis.

It’s time for CT to evolve beyond anatomy to

function. From detailed images of inner structures
to an understanding of what those structures are
made of. It’s time for both high sensitivity and
high specificity.

Introducing Revolution Frontier. Built to push

the boundaries of what you expect from your CT,
Revolution Frontier includes an all-new imaging
chain, a streamlined spectral imaging experience
and a robust toolkit of imaging modes right at your
fingertips. It takes CT innovation to a whole new
level of everyday capability.

Innovation

Innovation along the

entire imaging chain
Our Revolution™ family of CT systems is known for its breakthrough
imaging technology. Revolution Frontier was designed to take this
technology to the next level for your high-performance clinical needs.

Its all-new imaging chain features the powerful Performix™ HD Plus.

This liquid metal bearing X-ray tube significantly reduces the wear
that is typical with conventional ball bearing technology. The result
is shorter tube warm-up times between scans as well as up to two
times longer tube life.
It also includes our Gemstone™ Clarity detector modules. Built
with the proven Gemstone material known for its high primary
speed and low afterglow, the miniaturized design of each detector Significant reduction in electronic noise
module shortens the distance information has to travel. For the
most challenging cases, you can easily implement High Definition
mode to further improve spatial resolution to 0.23 mm.

The spectral
CT you’ve been
waiting for
New technology, like spectral imaging, can be difficult to
adopt if it has limited utility or doesn’t fit into the processes
you already have in place. We addressed these challenges
with Gemstone Spectral Imaging (GSI) Pro.

GSI is our proven spectral imaging application. It uses

our Gemstone detector and rapid kV switching to acquire
dual energy samples from a single source. With GSI Pro,
we improved the GSI experience by allowing it to seamlessly
integrate with AW applications. Wealso significantly reduced
reconstruction times with a breakthrough in spectral CT
technology that effortlessly processes gigabytes of data
at a time.

Beyond that, by incorporating the latest in

iterative reconstruction technology, ASiR-V,™,1
GSI Pro also enables dose neutrality, lower
image noise and improved low-contrast
detectability for patients of any size.

Ready to adapt
to every patient
Revolution Frontier was designed around the principle that no two
examinations are ever the same. To do this, we made sure you can
address individual clinical needs by moving seamlessly from one
scan mode to the next. You can image with a stunning 0.23 mm
spatial resolution and then switch to rapid kV switching for full 50 cm
FOV spectral imaging of the entire body. Ensure low dose across all
exams with ASiR-V1 and use 0.35 second rotation routinely.

“This scanner can help us further build our chronic

thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension treatment
clinics by looking at perfusion in addition to filling
defects. Also, we expect it will help our urology
partners in identifying the composition of renal
stones. We are also excited to use the new system in
planning complex pancreatic cancer treatment, as it
appears we can see the lesions as well as liver
metastases better than without spectral imaging.”

In clinical practice, the use of ASiR-V may reduce CT patient dose depending on
the clinical task, patient size, anatomical location and clinical practice. A consultation
with a radiologist and a physicist should be made to determine the appropriate dose
to obtain diagnostic image quality for the particular clinical task.

A 6x improvement of motion-blur reduction while maintaining high spatial
resolution is demonstrated in cardiac phantom testing. The reduction in motion
artifacts is comparable to a 0.058 s Equivalent Gantry Rotation Speed with effective
temporal resolution of 29 msec, as demonstrated in mathematical phantom testing.
