GE’s proprietary Image Intelligence technology provides extraordinary image quality. This exciting imaging innovation
features Smart Window and Smart Metal, illustrating GE’s continued commitment to technology leadership.

Conventional Image with Smart Window

Image Smart Window Smart Window technology dynamically senses the
collimator position and automatically adjusts the
sampling window size to optimize image quality.

• Adjusts brightness.

• Levels contrasts.

enhances image quality. After Smart Metal is
initialized, optimized image resolution is maintained
even with the introduction of metal objects into the
X-ray field.

• No manual brightness and contrast adjustments

are needed.

• Reduces system sensitivity to metal.

AutoTrak

During live fluoro, AutoTrak automatically seeks the subject anatomy within
the imaging field and automatically selects an optimum imaging technique.
In most imaging situations, if the subject anatomy moves within the field of
view, AutoTrak will maintain the correct exposure, even if the anatomy
moves toward the edge of the imaging field or is improperly collimated.
