IIRC on this scanner, the actual data collection is very fast (few minutes) but the high-quality image reconstruction needs just under an hour. The images in the link are also heavily manually post-processed which is labor intensive.
- wyldfire 12y agoHour-long reconstruction times are very abnormal. GE sells a low-dose feature branded "Veo" that has ~30-minute reconstruction times. CT750HD spectral imaging (branded GSI) takes as long as 20-minutes. Revolution imaging takes on the order of minutes (2-3). Indeed the 3d post-processing takes time and probably includes many manual steps/tweaks.
- fluidcruft 12y agoWe were told 45-50min was typical for the Veo recons a few months ago, but I wouldn't be surprised if they've improved performance in the interim.
- wyldfire 12y agoHmm, that's too bad. I could've sworn it had hit the 30-minute mark. There haven't been many refreshes so I don't know that it's been improved since the initial release. Well, IMO, after five or so minutes there's not a huge difference between 30 and 60. But it does depend a bit on how the imaging workflow goes (do you wait for those images before letting the patient leave?, e.g.). But you can get some pretty dramatic image quality or dose improvements from Veo, so maybe it's worth it.
