GE Discovery^TM IQ PET/CT Scanner

The NEW GE LightBurst PET detector technology delivers the highest sensitivity of any PET/CT anywhere enabling excellent image quality with fast scans at low doses for greater patient comfort and care.

Highest NEMA Sensitivity in the Industry

• Provides up to 22 cps/kBq
• Enables very fast acquisition times
• Allows for low dose scans
• Can image with both 1/2 the PET dose and 1/2 the scan time
• Delivers outstanding image quality for small lesion detectability

Largest Axial Field-of-View Coverage in the Industry

• Provides up to 26 cm of coverage
• Enables scanning in the fewest possible bed positions
• Scans full organ, such as thorax respiratory MotionFree study as fast as 4 minutes
• Allows for greater throughput/workflow efficiencies for your clinic

Highest Clinical Noise-Equivalent-Count-Rate (NECR) for clinical¹⁸F acquisition in the Industry

• Optimized for oncology practices administering¹⁸F as done in 94% of procedures
• Up to 75 kcps @ 2.4 kBq/mL
• Delivers high NECR for both low- and high-count rate radioisotopes such as⁶⁸Ga, ¹¹C, ⁸²Rb and more

Fast Electronics with Dual Acquisition Channels

• Delivers high quantitative accuracy, post NECR peak, even with high-count rate radioisotopes (e.g., ⁸²Rb) where noise typically has a negative impact
• +/- 3.5% up to 22 kBq/mL

For the first time in PET reconstruction, no trade-off between excellent image quality and consistent, quantitative SUV measurements to assist in earlier determination of how well your treatment plan is working.

Q.Clear, pioneering full-convergence reconstruction technology, enables fast and efficient reading for greater confidence in evaluating a patient’s response to treatment. It provides up to 2x improvement in both PET quantitation accuracy (SUV) and image quality (SNR).
