Test & Measurement World - August 1, 2005

For doctors dealing with medical emergencies, the speed and accuracy of diagnostic equipment play crucial roles in a patient's chances for survival. Now, thanks to the work of engineers at GE Healthcare Technologies, more doctors can tap what is being described as "the quintessential emergency room tool." The LightSpeed VCT generates 3-D-quality images that are setting new standards for CT scanners.
