The NeuViz Epoch is Neusoft Medical's 512-slice ultra-premium CT, approved by China's NMPA in 2020 as the country's first 512-slice panoramic multimodal CT. Its 16 cm Pano-spherical detector and 0.259 s gantry rotation enable one-beat, free-breathing coronary CTA and single-rotation spectral imaging. It is positioned for high-end cardiac, neurological and emergency imaging in tertiary hospitals.
Highlights
- 512-slice wide-body CT with a 16 cm Z-axis Pano-spherical detector
- 0.259 s gantry rotation supports one-beat cardiac imaging in about 0.2 s
- One-beat whole-heart coverage of 160 mm at heart rates of 103-155 bpm
- Spectral imaging yields 161 single-energy (keV) images per rotation
- 60 kV low-dose scanning with a 30 MHU-equivalent wide-coverage tube
- Whole-body systemic vascular examination completed within 5 seconds
