GE Healthcare of Chalfont St. Giles, U.K., has made the first installation of its BrightSpeed value-priced CT scanner family.
The BrightSpeed line was introduced at the 2005 RSNA show and was designed to be an economical alternative for facilities making the move from single-slice CT to multislice imaging. BrightSpeed scanners come in four-, eight-, and 16-slice configurations, and include some of the same technology found on the company's flagship LightSpeed VCT 64-slice CT system.
The new system was a 16-slice BrightSpeed Elite model, and was installed at Moreland Medical Center in Waukesha, WI.
