Life Medical Imaging Introduces the Central Coast’s First Next-Generation CT Scanner: The Revolution Apex Elite
Life Medical Imaging has officially installed the Central Coast’s first GE Revolution Apex Elite CT scanner at its Erina clinic, setting a new benchmark in diagnostic imaging for the region. This next-generation technology delivers exceptional image quality with greater comfort, faster scan times, and lower radiation doses, all while expanding diagnostic capabilities for patients and clinicians. With practices located in Erina, Umina Beach, Killarney Vale, and Bateau Bay, Life Medical Imaging continues to lead the way in bringing world-class technology and care to the Central Coast community.
Redefining CT Imaging: Comfort, Clarity, and Confidence
The GE Revolution Apex Elite combines cutting-edge features designed to transform both the patient and practitioner experience:
80 cm Bore size with Whisper Drive Technology: Offers a quieter, more comfortable experience by significantly reducing audible noise during gantry rotation.
Smart MAR (Metal Artefact Reduction): Delivers exceptional image clarity for patients with metal implants such as hip replacements, neuro clips, or spinal fixations.
TrueFidelity™ Deep Learning Image Reconstruction: GE HealthCare’s AI-powered reconstruction technology enhances image sharpness and reduces noise, providing crystal-clear images across a wide range of clinical applications, from head to cardiovascular imaging.
Unlimited 1-Beat, Motion-Free Cardiac Imaging: Enables motion-free, high-definition CTCA imaging at any heart rate, using GE’s advanced Snapshot Freeze 2 Whole Heart Motion Correction technology, reducing or eliminating the need for beta blockers.
HyperDrive Scan Mode: Offers ultra-fast scanning of up to 523.5 mm per second, reducing breath-hold times and improving comfort for acute patients.
These features combine to deliver high-definition images with less radiation exposure to help even the most challenging clinical cases, supporting earlier and more confident diagnosis while improving patient safety and comfort. Dr Mark Cooper, specialist Radiologist at Life Medical Imaging, stated, “This scanner’s deep learning reconstruction and metal artefact reduction technology give us unmatched clarity and diagnostic confidence. It’s particularly transformative for complex cases such as cardiac, neurological, and post-surgical imaging, helping us deliver more accurate results, sooner.”
A Step Forward for the Central Coast Community
For practitioners, this innovation provides sharper, more detailed images that enable greater diagnostic precision and faster reporting turnaround. For patients, the experience is faster, quieter, and safer, meaning less time in the scanner and more confidence in results.
As the first installation of its kind on the Central Coast, the Revolution Apex Elite represents a significant milestone for regional healthcare, ensuring patients can access the same world-class diagnostic technology available in major metropolitan hospitals, without having to leave the Central Coast.
Jacob Wasef, Director of Life Medical Imaging, said the investment underscores the company’s long-term commitment to innovation and community care:
“At Life Medical Imaging, we’re passionate about bringing the very best in diagnostic imaging to the Central Coast. The new GE Revolution Apex Elite CT scanner allows us to offer faster, safer, and incredibly precise imaging right here at Erina. Patients no longer need to travel to Sydney for advanced cardiac or full-body imaging. It’s a major step forward for local healthcare.”
