The GE Optima IGS 320 (often referred to within GE's Innova/Optima family) is a floor-mounted, single-plane digital cardiac catheterization lab (cath lab) system designed primarily for interventional cardiology and electrophysiology (EP) procedures.
Key Technical Specifications
- Detector Size: Features a 20.5 cm (8.1 inch) square flat-panel digital detector optimized specifically for cardiac imaging. This design offers 34% to 38% more anatomical coverage than traditional 17 cm square detectors.
- Detector Efficiency: Built with high Detective Quantum Efficiency (DQE), allowing the system to capture clean, low-noise diagnostic images using a fraction of the standard X-ray dose.
- X-Ray Tube: Powered by the Performix 160A X-ray tube coupled with a specialized Coolix cooling system to handle the heavy heat loads of back-to-back, complex procedures.
- Gantry Design: Utilizes an isocentric 3-axis positioner with an offset C-arm. The offset configuration grants the medical team uninhibited access to the patient's head for anesthesia or nursing.
