GE Discovery IQ PET/CT Scanner

Product Description: The GE Discovery IQ is an advanced PET/CT scanner that delivers a new level of diagnostic confidence by combining the high-performance of a multi-slice CT with the exceptional sensitivity of PET. The system features Q.Clear technology, a groundbreaking PET image reconstruction algorithm that provides up to a 2x improvement in image quality (measured as Signal-to-Noise Ratio) and quantitative accuracy, which is essential for accurate cancer staging and treatment monitoring. This scanner is also known for its low-dose imaging capabilities, with ASiR technology on the CT component and Low-Dose PET protocols that significantly reduce patient radiation exposure. The Discovery IQ is built on a scalable platform, allowing for easy upgrades to meet future clinical needs. Its streamlined workflow, intuitive controls, and fast reconstruction times make it a workhorse for a wide range of clinical applications, including oncology, neurology, and cardiology.
