The uCT Computed Tomography X-ray System uCT 520/uCT 528 is a computed tomography X-ray system intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of X-ray transmission data taken at different angles and planes and indicated for the whole body (including head, neck, vascular).

The uCT 520/uCT 528 is a multi-slice X-ray computed tomography scanner which features a continuously rotating tube-detector system and functions according to the fan beam principle. The system provides the filter back-projection (FBP) algorithm to reconstruct images in DICOM format, which can be used by post-processing applications. The system consists of the Gantry, X-ray System, Data Management System, Patient Table, Console, Power Supply Cabinet, Image Processing Computer, and Software. The system software is a program used for patient management, data management, Xray scan control, image reconstruction, and image archive. A motorized patient table moves the patient through a circular opening in the Gantry. As the patient passes through the Gantry, a source of x rays rotates around the inside of the circular opening. Detectors on the exit side of the patient record the X rays exiting the section of the patient's body being irradiated as an X-ray "snapshot". Many different "snapshots" (angles) are collected during one complete rotation. The data are sent to a computer to reconstruct all of the individual "snapshots" into a crosssectional image (slice) of the internal organs and tissues for each complete rotation of the source of x rays. There are two key features of data processing for denoising and reduce metal artifact, which are KARL iterative denoising reconstruction algorithm and MAC Metal artifact correction algorithm.
