Veo is the first FDA-approved CT system using the model-based iterative reconstruction technique, which is already available on GE Discovery CT750 HD systems in Europe, Canada and parts of Asia.

 

Current Veo users in Europe report successful chest CTs done with an equivalent amount of medical radiation dose as a chest x-ray, or less than one-tenth of one mSv.
