 Big impact.
Improving the quality of healthcare around the world is
a goal we all share. But this can be a daunting challenge,
with patients that may be spread across vast remote or
rural regions.
Enter the Brivo™ CT325 — part of the GE healthymagination
initiative to make high-quality CT accessible and
cost effective.

Advanced capability
meets elegant simplicity.
Incorporating the latest technologies from GE Healthcare’s
advanced CT platforms, Brivo CT325 delivers all the essential
functionality to meet your current and future clinical needs.
From routine image review to high-level post processing,
Brivo CT325 offers a wide range of applications. Combining
performance with simplicity — all in one easy-to-use system.
VolumeViewer™
Volume Analysis allows you to manage 3D and 2D imaging
in real time. Within the same display, you can review multiple
acquisitions, associating 2D images with a variable slab
thickness capability (Average, MIP, MinIP, Volume Rendering)
according to the exam’s requirements.
Reformat. With Multi-Planar Reconstruction (MPR), datasets
can be presented in the axial, sagittal, coronal, and oblique
planes, for more confident assessment and diagnosis of
sinus, chest, abdomen, inter-vertebral disc, and fractures.
Volume Viewer
Virtual Endoscopy
4 | GE Healthcare Brivo CT325
Multi-Planar Volume Reconstruction (MPVR) provides a
quick and easy way to generate volumetric images to help
you accurately enhance contrast and improve visualization
of structures. Apply MIP (Maximum Intensity Projection) for
vascular anatomy; MinIP (Minimum Intensity Projection) for
airways and bronchi; or Average for head or abdominal
examinations. The selected volume can be viewed from any
selected plane and combined with variable slice thickness
to help you clearly analyze lesions in the pancreas, renal
arteries, and spine.
3D Surface, 3D MIP, and 3D Volume Rendering. Volume
Rendering enhances three-dimensional visualization of imaged
tissue using a translucent rendering. This rendering provides
more information about spatial relationships of different
structures than standard 3D surface rendering. So you
can accurately and confidently interpret CT exams.
Virtual Endoscopy provides a visualization of intra-luminal
structures such as airways, sinus, or vascular structures. Images
can be viewed dynamically using a virtual “fly through” mode.
CT Perfusion

Blood flow Blood volume Mean transit time

CT Colonography

Vessel Analysis
CT Perfusion
Enables stroke management through quick
quantitative analysis of blood flow disturbances
in the brain, including cerebral blood volume,
cerebral blood flow, and mean transit time.

CT Colonography
Provides quick, accurate, non-invasive colon
exams. Prone and supine views can be displayed
and synchronized together. You can even conduct
a 3D flythrough that resembles an optical colonoscopy.
Bookmarking tools mark polyp location, and distance
and ROI tools quantify size and homogeneity.

Vessel Analysis
Allows enhanced analysis of vascular features
by automatically determining vessel centerline.
Tracking multiple paths allows you to measure
angles between branches. You can also view true
oblique cross sections of vascular images, and
rotate curved views to more clearly visualize
vascular lesions.
DentaScan
DentaScan
Creates a comprehensive set of cross-referenced
composite axial, panorex, and oblique planar
reformations of the mandible and/or maxilla.
DentaScan gives you the information you need
to plan dental implants or orthodontic surgery.

 Attainable
and reliable.
With its ultra-compact design, the Brivo CT325 fits easily
into just about anywhere, including even the most confined
operator or scan room. Boasting one of the smallest foot-
prints on the market, this space-saving system allows you
to fit more productivity into a smaller room.
This small, easy-to-use system also helps you fit in more
patients. By reducing the number of steps needed to
position and release the patient, the table design helps
streamline CT exam workflow and increase throughput.
The Brivo CT325 delivers the speed, power, and resolution
required for all types of routine CT applications. The reliability,
high image quality, and effective productivity you need in
a small compact design.
Auto mA modulates mA during both axial and helical
scanning, maintaining image quality on each slice.
This improves signal-to-noise ratio and optimizes dose
by adapting the current to the absorption coefficient for
each slice. On a traditional CT system, a constant tube
current may be too high or too low because the absorption
coefficient of X-rays varies for different tissues.

The bowtie X-ray-beam-shaping filters used in GE scanners
maintain more uniform X-ray at the detector, minimize surface
dose, and reduce X-ray scatter. They have routinely achieved
image quality with dose efficiencies.
The beam-tracking system also contributes to higher dose
efficiency, automatically measuring the position of the beam
and adjusting the collimator using data transferred in real time
from the detector. Because collimation is precisely adjusted
to slice thickness, post-patient collimation is unnecessary,
reducing dose.
The high absorption efficiency (99%) and stability of GE detectors
provide high image quality with optimized dose. Each tube is
manufactured to withstand the rigors of exams that require
a large number of scans, allowing less tube cooling time.
For performance you can depend on, scan after scan, day
after day.

Simple, and easy to use.
The CT exam, re-examined.
The Brivo CT325’s user-friendly interface simplifies and
speeds operation, streamlining workflow. The operating
console combines both image acquisition and post-processing
with advanced applications, simplifying management of
multiple tasks from a single location.
Whether you are collecting information or reviewing it,
the Brivo CT325 makes it quick and easy.

The patient table and gantry design further streamline
CT exam workflow by simplifying patient positioning and
releasing. Using auto-center technology, you can center the
patient without needing to adjust table height, so you can
finish CT exams in fewer steps.
And the Brivo CT325 provides a significant amount of storage
space for your data. So you can keep weeks of exams on
the console, and even manage mass thin-slice datasets.
