GE Optima CT660 / Optima 660 128-Slice CT Buyer's Guide
The GE Optima CT660 (also sold as the Optima 660) is a 128-slice premium general-purpose CT scanner from GE Healthcare's Optima CT600 family. It sits between the entry-level Optima CT520 / CT540 and the high-end Revolution family, delivering fast gantry rotation, 128-slice reconstruction and a 70 cm bore for hospitals, imaging centers and outpatient CT suites.
This guide covers the Optima CT660's core specifications, typical used-market pricing, what a turnkey refurbishment should include, and the practical points to verify when comparing systems for a CT replacement or new installation.

It is commonly configured with a Performix 40 Plus X-ray tube and a range of GE software options for CT angiography, cardiac gating, low-dose reconstruction and advanced visualization.

What a turnkey refurbishment should include
A professionally refurbished Optima CT660 should be more than a used system. Buyers should expect complete deinstallation, packing, export documentation, mechanical and electrical installation, system calibration, daily QC verification and on-site applications training. The tube should be verified with patient-exam counts and mA·s history, and the software-license status should be documented in writing.
How to evaluate a used Optima CT660
- Confirm tube model, manufacture date and verified usage (mA·s / patient exams).
- Review installed software options and license transferability.
- Inspect detector calibration records and phantom QC results.
- Verify accessory completeness — head holders, positioning trays, ECG monitor, PDU, cables, documentation.
- Check warranty scope, remote support and spare-parts availability.
- Assess site requirements: power, cooling, room shielding and gantry access route.
Where the Optima CT660 fits in the GE CT family
The Optima CT660 is the higher-tier option in the Optima CT500/CT600 general-purpose family. It is a step up from the 16-slice Optima CT520 and CT540, offering faster rotation and 128-slice reconstruction, while remaining more accessible than the Revolution family of premium CT scanners.
