PET CT Scan Machine

• As a healthcare provider, you are focused on finding the most effective treatment, based on each patient’s response.
• GE Healthcare is providing you the tools to help make this goal a reality with the Discovery* PET/CT 710 and Q.Suite.
• The entirely new PET/CT scanner and breakthrough tools for quantitative PET assist you in making the appropriate treatment decision for individual patients.

Benefits:
Breakthrough tools for quantitative PET

• With so much potential for variation, each part of the workflow must be addressed for the quantitative PET to be effective.
• With Q.Suite, new capabilities from GE Healthcare work together to drive quantitative consistency.
• Q.Suite can help physicians assess therapy response early and effectively, allowing oncologists to modify treatment strategies without waiting for physical results.
• Effective therapy may help improve the patient’s quality of life and overall outcome as well as reduce the cost burden of ineffective treatment.

Daily quality control:

• Count-Rate independent performance: Great performance at any count rate.
• Real-Time Temperature Compensation: Consistent performance. Every exam. Every temperature.

Workflow:

• Q.Core: Accelerating your quantitative imaging workflow.
• Q.Check: A quality control link between the scanner and the workstation.

Motion correction:

• Q.Static: Reducing open motion effects quickly and simply.

Reconstruction algorithm:

• Q.AC: Attenuation consistency for demanding protocols such as Cine CTAC.

Analysis and reporting applications:

• PET VCAR: Powerful patient evaluation and monitoring. PET VCAR can do evaluations based on PERCIST and RECIST and incorporates Q.Check.

Technology:
The Discovery PET/CT 710 offers tried and true technologies:

• Innovations with a 40-mm detector at 0.35-sec rotation speed.
• Up to 60% lower CO2 emissions using the energy saving mode.
• Advanced applications to help clinicians make a fast and confident diagnosis.
• ASiR1 technology may allow for reduced mA in the acquisition of diagnostic images.
• Simplified workflow for quick and streamlined operation.
• Scalable, modular design for ease of service.
• 128-slice axial overlapped reconstruction for improved Z-axis visualization compared to non-overlapped reconstruction

One image. All the counts. Motion eliminated:

• We’re designing Q.Freeze to combine the quantitative benefits of 4D phase-matched PET/CT imaging into a single static image.
• By collecting CT and PET data at each phase of the breathing cycle, then matching the data for attenuation consistency.
• None of the acquisition data is wasted, as 100% of the counts collected are combined to create a single static image.
• The goal – a resulting image that has the dual benefit of frozen patient motion and reduced image noise.

Reducing organ motion effects, quickly and simply:

• Q.Static represents a starting point for adding basic motion correction techniques to your facility and the opportunity to build towards a full 4D phase-matched workflow.
• Without disrupting your standard static whole-body workflow, were designing Q.Static to automatically isolate date when organs are in a low motion state, thereby correcting for motion across the entire chest or torso.
• The result is a single image series with reduced blurring from organ motion
