7. System performance

Designed for productivity and performance, the MX16EVO offers the widest detector coverage
in its class, high pitch at high quality with ASTR (Adaptive Spiral Tracking Reconstruction Algorithm),
and fast reconstruction speeds of up to 20 ips, so you can scan more patients each day.

7.1 EVOEye algorithm

The exclusive EVOEye algorithm allows
for excellent images with reduced noise.

The 1024 matrix enables high resolution scanning,

while EVOEye improves low-contrast resolution.

7.2 MAR artifact reduction

Exclusive Metal Artifact Reduction (MAR) technology data, enhancing visualization of surrounding anatomy
helps isolate the effects of metal objects in the image for increased diagnostic confidence.
