Connect and Deliver

Optima™ CT580 RT
Taking aim at cancer requires more
than skill and compassion — it takes
the right connections.
Radiation oncologists must connect with a CT simulator that offers
the accuracy and precision they need to find their target. This CT
simulator has to connect with efficient virtual simulation tools that
combine 4D and multi-modality imaging and seamlessly integrate
with treatment planning systems. And it must connect with a
proactive service partner dedicated to keeping their operations
worry-free.
But these connections, as critical as they are, serve a higher
obligation — to deliver quality patient care

The Optima CT580 RT * is an

advanced CT simulator designed
to help you connect and deliver.

It brings accuracy, And ultimately, it offers

enabling the precise proactive service, offering
imaging and planning exceptional uptime and
required for routine and built in online tools that
advanced radiation help to ensure smooth
therapy treatments. operations.

It facilitates an
integrated workflow,
linking seamlessly with
GE's efficient virtual
simulation suite and
treatment planning
systems.

The Optima CT580 RT has just the right technology for

radiation oncologists, physicists, dosimetrists and
therapists to connect and deliver. And it only comes
from GE Healthcare.

Connect with accuracy.
From treatment planning and acquisition to virtual simulation and
seamless connection to treatment planning, the Optima CT580 RT
delivers precise operation at every step.

Accurate patient positioning

The Optima CT580 RT gives you the full flexibility and freedom
you need to precisely position patients in even the most demanding
cases. Our TG66-compliant tables help provide accurate
positioning, thanks to a stiffer cradle made from an advanced
composite fiber to keep patients steady.

The system combines a generous 80-cm wide bore, a 65-cm display

field of view, and state-of-the-art patient table design. As a result,
patients can be positioned more comfortably—and the complete
skin surface can be visualized for optimized radiation therapy
simulation and planning.

Accurate motion management
Motion can be managed effectively through GE-exclusive Cine 4D
technology. Advantage™ 4D respiratory gating solutions offer a
new way to plan radiotherapy precisely for tumors in motion. This
breakthrough application features integrated respiratory gating
technologies, including Varian RPM.™

Clinicians can now capture the full range of motion of critical internal
structures and lesions during respiration to target moving tumors
for gated or ungated treatment. Full flexibility is available for either
retrospective or prospective gating. Our simple solutions are built to Contouring while visualizing motion.

Connect with an
integrated workflow.
Whether it’s linking you to treatment planning systems
or GE virtual simulation tools, the Optima CT580 RT makes
a complex workflow routine.

Seamless workflow
from scan to plan
The Optima CT580 RT offers seamless integration with a number
of industry-leading treatment planning systems. GE’s oncology
portfolio has been certified for the new “Integrating the Health
Environment—Radiation Oncology (IHE-RO)” standard.*

Advantage™ 4D
Our Advantage 4D respiratory gating solutions are easy,
fast and simple to use, providing seamless workflow from
scan to plan — with flexible options for all clinical cases and
workflow needs.
• Auto 4D provides motion assessment before a patient
is released from the scanner, in as little as four minutes.**
• Auto 4D allows 4D images to be automatically binned,
networked and available for AdvantageSim™ MD or your
treatment planning system within 90 seconds or less.

AdvantageSim™ MD
Sophisticated yet simple, this CT simulation application produces
precise data for the accurate localization, identification, beam
definition and verification before treatment. High-resolution DRRs
and outstanding low-contrast resolution help you visualize tumors.
Multi-modality, multi-phase simulation—a complement to GE’s
pioneering 4D technology—and multi-organ auto segmentation
improve the accuracy and speed of therapy planning.

Integrated Registration
With Integrated Registration, CT, MR, PET and SPECT datasets can
be automatically registered, helping clinicians to target and
contour critical structures with greater accuracy and confidence.

Accuracy
For exceptional accuracy, rigid and deformable algorithms are
optimized to anatomical regions and imaging modalities.

Speed
For the sake of speed, automatic fusion takes otherwise time-
consuming image registration down to seconds, while auto-
propagation of results makes multiple registration steps
unnecessary. This is particularly valuable in 4D multi-phase and
multi-sequence MR studies.

Ease of Use
Results can be seamlessly exported to GE AdvantageSim or any
Treatment Planning System.
