• Faster scan and reconstruction time: Multi-slice capability, combined with faster (0.7 sec) rotation speed.
• Thinner slices: The thinner the slice, the higher the resolution - resulting in excellent image quality and diagnostic confidence. HiSpeed NX/i lets you acquire two thin slices simultaneously in the same time it takes for a conventional single-slice scanner.
• HiLight image quality.
• Automated, protocol driven scanning: So flexible, your imagination is the only limit.

HighSpeed NX/i USER INTERFACE

The state-of-the-art interface of the HiSpeed NX/i provides a unique combination of sophisticated features and user-friendly access for intuitive, interactive scanning.

• Entirely protocol-driven, with easy to read icons and color cues. Ready to scan with the click of the mouse.
• Flexible editing tools tailor exam to patient, proactively programming the system before the patient arrives saving valuable time.
• True multi-tasking environment, with automated real-time image processing, redefines “simultaneous”.
• Protocol Wizard lets you adjust one parameter with the system automatically adjusting all other parameters affected by the change.

SMARTmA

SmartmA enables the scanner to automatically adjust the mA within a scan series, thereby reducing patient dose, scan time, and unnecesary heat load to the x-ray tube. All while simultaneously delivering consistent image quality throughout the entire exam.
 

HILIGHT DETECTOR

HiLight Scintillator
 
The HiLight scintillator is a unique, man-made patented rare earth ceramic composite specifically engineered for CT applications. With a 99% absorption efficiency and a scintillation efficiency matched to diagnostic CT x-rays, HiLight has over twice the light output of Cadmium Tungstate while also being 20 times more stable. (Cadmium Tungstate is another commonly used solid state detector material)


Photodiode
To maximize detector efficiency, the photodiode properties are often as important as the scintillator material itself. Features of the HiLight detector photodiode include:

• Spectrally matched for maximum signal output at scintillator frequency
• Very high resistance and low capacitance for minimum electronic noise
• Ultraflat diode surface for efficient light coupling and reduced cross talk
• Uniform Z-axis response
• Fast response time across total CT x-ray dynamic range
• Flat thermal response for gain stability

HiLight Detector Benefits

• Low dose CT imaging
• Fast scan rotation times
• Superior low-contrast detectability
