The Revolution Vibe CT system uses AI-powered tools to speed up workflows and is designed to handle complex cardiac cases.
GE HealthCare announced it received 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Revolution Vibe CT system, an imaging solution designed for coronary CT angiography (CCTA), earlier this year. The system integrates AI-powered tools and is intended to help clinicians identify potential heart blockages in a non-invasive manner while streamlining workflow.
Revolution Vibe was first introduced with 510k pending status at the American College of Cardiology 2025 meeting in late March 2025.
The Revolution Vibe is engineered to address difficult cardiac exams, including those involving patients with arrhythmias, heavily calcified coronaries and valves, stents, or bypasses. According to the company, its Unlimited One-Beat Cardiac imaging feature delivers full-heart clarity at a low dose, even in cases without an ECG trace.
In clinical evaluations, the system’s Effortless Workflow demonstrated a 50% reduction in exam time and saved up to five minutes in patient preparation per scan, according to a release from the company. These efficiencies, driven by automated protocol selection and simplified positioning, also helped to double CCTA capacity.
“Revolution Vibe’s FDA clearance comes at the perfect time, with guidelines being adopted clinically for cardiac CT and with positive reimbursement driving procedure growth, this is the time to usher in a new era of cardiac imaging,” says Jean-Luc Procaccini, president and CEO, molecular imaging and computed tomography, GE HealthCare, in a release. “Designed to help clinicians detect coronary artery disease and help plan valvular heart interventions quickly and confidently—even in complex cases—Revolution Vibe offers a practical, high-performance solution to help improve diagnostic accuracy, reduce exam time, and support better patient outcomes.”
Beyond cardiac imaging, the system supports general imaging needs and is designed to help facilities manage lifecycle costs with an energy-efficient design, Smart Subscription, and fleet management tools.
First Global Installation
Radiologie du Var – ELSAN in Ollioules, France, is the first healthcare system in the world to install the new technology. The medical imaging provider is known for performing a high volume of cardiovascular imaging in the country.
“With Revolution Vibe in our fleet, we feel better prepared to meet growing demand for cardiac imaging and are proud to offer a fast, noninvasive diagnostic solution to our patients,” says Sébastien Saint Germain, director, Radiologie du Var – ELSAN, in a release. “In the first couple weeks of use, we’re already seeing how its AI-driven workflow and advanced imaging capabilities can help us deliver faster, more confident diagnoses.”
