Awesome work! How much more/less radiation does this expose a patient to than a traditional CT scan?

  To be fair, while this product is a big improvement, I wouldn't distinguish between it and "traditional CT." It's just the latest evolution of CT (from one particular manufacturer). Radiation Dose for CT has been a big issue over the past decade. It continues to improve due to better algorithms and hardware changes. The big features here over GE's other CTs are the fact that it rotates faster and covers more anatomy in a single rotation. Neither of these has a significant impact on the dose. One of the dose oriented features of Revolution is called "ASiR-V" and GE claims that it "is designed to deliver reduced noise levels, improve low-contrast detectability and routinely reduce dose up to 82% for patients of all ages."
