The Discovery NM/CT 570c SPECT/CT system featuring Alcyone Technology, has the ability to perform a complete cardiac acquisition in less than five minutes time including myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), Computed Tomographic Angiography (CTA), and calcium scoring (CaSC). The Discovery NM/CT 570c also improves dose management, and enables more convenient patient scheduling in comparison to separate, conventional SPECT and CT exams.

IT Applications

GE Healthcare allows clinicians the opportunity to simplify their imaging department with the launch of the Xeleris Suite, harnessing the diagnostic power of Nuclear Medicine clinical applications integrated with the functionality of Centricity PACS RA1000 workstation. Xeleris Suite on Centricity RA1000 allows users to operate from a single radiology department worklist, creating one shared worklist for the entire Nuclear Medicine department. The simple, customizable user interface brings nuclear review far beyond the limitations of simple screen captures and the raw data. This includes a wide array of clinical applications such as Xeleris Myometrix and Emory Cardiac Toolbox™ cardiac analysis tools, as well as SPECT/CT and PET/CT image review. The result is the opportunity for improved clinical productivity and diagnostic confidence with the ability to read relevant exams from multiple modalities in one location.

PET/CT

As the powerful Discovery PET/CT 600 series continues to expand, GE is proud to announce the Discovery PET/CT 690 - a premier molecular imaging tool designed go beyond the needs of the clinical practice and provide the necessary tools and technologies to explore the future of PET/CT imaging.

With specialized detector configuration designed for sensitivity, event throughput and efficiency, researchers and clinicians have the necessary speed in workflow, protocol flexibility and unique timing resolution technology to help forge new frontiers in clinical techniques, drug discovery and motion management.

All of the Discovery PET/CT 600 Series products incorporate industry leading, MotionFree imaging technologies into the clinical workflow. The system allows clinicians and researchers to align PET and CT gated images to compensate for movement in all regions of the body, most importantly those regions subject to respiration motion. GE's breakthrough MotionFree imaging technology on the Discovery PET/CT 690 is integrated with VUE Point FX, an advanced high-definition reconstruction technique incorporating the element of time. Combined, these technologies have the potential to improve small lesion detection, image quality, and better therapy response monitoring.
