Whole-body tomography CT scanner AlphaCT 968

512-slicewide-bore

Product overview The AlphaCT 968 is a 512-slice CT scanner with an ultra-large 82 cm bore and short-geometry gantry designed for extended field-of-view imaging, high-speed rotation and wide z-axis coverage. The system integrates a 16 cm Vista detector and advanced image-processing to support high-resolution diagnostic workflows; CE pending.

Key features

• Ultra-large 82 cm bore for expanded patient access and field of view
• Patent short-geometry design enabling approximately 80 cm extended FOV
• Ultra-speedy rotation supported by an ultra-rigid integrated casting gantry to minimize vibration
• Advanced bearing technology addressing wear under high-load, high-speed rotation
• Short geometry enables stable high-mA output by reducing centrifugal effects on the X-ray tube

Detector and image quality

• 16 cm Vista wide-coverage detector developed and manufactured by Sinovision
• Concentric-circle detector arrangement with dedicated thermal management
• Full-process, high-precision detector production line (manufacturer-produced detector)
• High signal conversion and sampling rates delivering high-resolution images
• Z-axis coverage: 16 cm
• Ultra-high-definition images (2048 × 2048) providing 4K-level resolution and enhanced diagnostic detail

Smart functions and positioning

• Smart central-target imaging to keep the scanning target centered
• Smart positioning for precise control of scan range
• AI-enabled learning from large datasets to extract anatomical features
• Collision warnings and real-time scan table position monitoring
• Environment disturbance removal and automatic identification of five main body regions for smart isocenter scanning

V-Clarity image optimization and dose reduction

• V-Clarity AI-based image optimization trained and validated with millions of high- and low-dose image pairs
• Optimized scan protocols to reduce radiation dose across multiple body regions (not limited to head, chest, abdomen)
• Reported lung scan dose reduction: up to 75% (claim reported on manufacturer site)
