The new Revolution Vibe in Penrith.
Nepean Radiology in Penrith has become the first practice in the Southern Hemisphere to offer patients access to new imaging technology from GE HealthCare.
The Revolution Vibe CT is designed to provide consistent, high-quality imaging for accurate diagnoses, even in patients with challenges such as atrial fibrillation, breath-holding difficulties, heavily calcified coronaries, in-stent restenosis, and situations where an ECG trace is unavailable.
With a wide detector range of 16cm and automatic camera guided positioning of the patient, the Revolution Vibe CT has cut examination time to 10 minutes – compared to other CT scanners on the market which may take 25 to 30 minutes.

Examination preparation time is also reduced thanks to the automation of steps such as selecting the right protocol or scan mode, enabling clinicians to spend more time on patient care and interpreting results.
“We are excited and proud to partner with GE HealthCare, allowing us to be at the leading edge of technology with the first Vibe CT in the Southern Hemisphere,” said Nepean Radiology Founding Partner, Dr Mansoor Parker.
“Patient care and early diagnosis are at the centre of everything we do. Empowering clinicians with the latest CT technology is an incredibly powerful way to support doctors in delivering exceptional patient care.”
The new Revolution Vibe was officially unveiled at Nepean Radiology, part of Quantum Medscan Radiology Group, late last week at a launch event with clinicians, which was also attended by Emily Suvaal, Parliamentary Secretary for Trade and Small Business.
The event showcased the clinic’s facilities and demonstrated the capabilities of the GE HealthCare Revolution Vibe in providing improved access to quality diagnostic technology for patients.
