GE Discovery DST 16 PET/CT Scanner

Product Description: The GE Discovery DST 16 PET/CT is a versatile, whole-body hybrid imaging system that integrates a high-performance 16-slice CT with a PET scanner for comprehensive anatomical and metabolic insights in a single session. This system is known for its Xtream FX™ technology, which accelerates data acquisition and reconstruction, and its integrated gantry design with a slip-ring CT and multi-slice detector for a seamless workflow. The PET component is equipped with 24 detector rings of BGO crystals, delivering high-speed data acquisition and advanced reconstruction electronics. With an internally cooled gantry that eliminates the need for a water chiller and triple-axis laser alignment for accurate patient positioning, the Discovery DST 16 is designed for both operational efficiency and patient comfort. It is an excellent choice for a variety of clinical applications, including oncology, cardiology, and neurology.
