Revolution Ascend Platform
A new revolution in CT efficiency
“This is neither an offer nor an agreement to supply the technologies. Cannot be placed on the market or put into service until it has been made to comply with the Medical Device Regulation requirements for CE marking.“
It’s time to get
ahead in CT.
Way ahead.
As the demand for CT procedures continues to increase, this means you
need to image a larger number of patients in a shorter amount of time.
You also need CT technology that can keep up. Not just for the routine
patients you have today, but also for the challenging patients you’ll have
tomorrow. The need for efficiency to stay ahead has never been greater.
“Our challenges are the same as everyone
else’s. With lower reimbursement, we
need three patients now for every one
patient we had 10 years ago. The need
for high volumes drives the need
for efficiency.1”

A new revolution in
CT efficiency is here
Introducing the new Revolution™ Ascend Platform, our latest CT offering that is
designed for efficiency to match your imaging demands. Whether you require a
highly efficient system with 20 mm of coverage for routine scanning or a more
advanced system with 40 mm of coverage that improves low contrast detectability,
you can choose exactly what you need. Since the Revolution Ascend Platform is
scalable, you can invest in the CT you need today and take comfort in knowing that
it’s ready for tomorrow.

Noise texture
“Implementing True Enhance DL combined with TrueFidelity DL has transformed our imaging process.
The standout improvement has been the remarkable noise texture uniformity, especially in challenging
areas like the liver parenchyma. This uniformity ensures that subtle differences in tissue densities are
more accurately captured, reducing misinterpretation of diseased versus healthy tissue”*
