GE Optima CT520

Refurbished GE Optima CT520 — part of GE Healthcare's Optima-era value platform,
sitting one tier above the BrightSpeed Elite and below the Optima CT540/CT580/CT660.
Configured here for 16-slice acquisition, with 32-slice configurations available,
the CT520 pairs a Performix-class X-ray tube and a refreshed gantry/PDU package
with the modern Optima console.
Typical clinical uses cover routine outpatient imaging, oncology follow-up,
ED head/abdomen/pelvis, vascular planning, urgent-care CT,
and mobile-trailer deployments where a low total cost of ownership matters more
than wide-coverage flagship throughput. Buyers comparing the Optima CT520 vs.
CT540 are usually weighing software/dose features (ASiR availability, recon options,
table) more than raw slice count. Compared to a BrightSpeed Elite,
the CT520 brings a more modern user interface, better dose-management workflow,
and improved upgrade path. Compared to a CT660, it gives up wide-coverage cardiac performance
but lands at a meaningfully lower capital and operating cost.
As an authorized refurbisher, MIS sources, refurbishes, deinstalls, ships, installs,
and supports the Optima CT520 with parts inventory, applications training,
and engineer-led service. Ask about lease and mobile-deployment options
if your project is interim, replacement, or capacity-driven.

Key specs 16-slice acquisition (32 by configuration); BrightSpeed-derived gantry/Performix tube;
modern Optima-era console and dose tools.
Best for Outpatient imaging, urgent care expansion, ED CT, mobile installs,
and budget-conscious replacements.
