GE Healthcare said it has completed its 500th installation of its LightSpeed VCT 64-slice CT system.

The Chalfont St. Giles, U.K.-based vendor reported that the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center will receive the 500th shipment of the product.

GE Healthcare said it has also installed its first LightSpeed VCT for dedicated use in pediatric applications.

Children's Hospital and Health System in San Diego will be using a LightSpeed VCT to perform clinical research on children with heart defects. A clinical study will compare the impact of VCT scans versus cardiac catheterization in infants born with a single ventricle in the heart, according to the vendor.

Liver fat content measurement with photon-counting CT and MRI-based proton density fat fraction (PDFF). Three regions of interest (circles) were delineated in the peripheral areas of the left, right anterior, and right posterior lobes of the liver. (A) Representative axial unenhanced 120-kVp standard-dose CT image (left) and corresponding MRI scan (right) in a 33-year-old man (body mass index, 26.2) diagnosed with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in the asymptomatic cohort. (B) Representative axial unenhanced 120-kVp low-dose CT image (left) and corresponding MRI scan (right) in a 69-year-old woman (body mass index, 24.6) in the MASLD cohort. Body mass index was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared.
