MOLECULAR IMAGING ◼ GE Healthcare · Discovery IQ PET/CT System sensitivity Energy resolution (NEMA) Field of View 22 cps / kBq (5 rings) 2 mm (w.SharpIR) 70 cm GE Healthcare · Discovery IQ Highlights New LightBurst PET detector and New Image Reconstruction Technologies • Up to five detector rings – 26 cm axial PET coverage • Up to 22 cps/kBq NEMA sensitivity • VUE Point HD – 3 D iterative reconstruction with Time of flight capability GE Healthcare · Discovery MI • On-site upgrade capability • Modern Optima 540 CT with 16 slices • Q.Clear – Full convergence PET reconstruction Highlights PET/CT throughput is limited by acquisition time (>25 mn) or access to FDG dose delivery. Discovery IQ is changing the game by providing access to faster scans (down to 5mn) and lower doses (down to ¼ ), allowing to increase patient throughput by 60 % (Toulouse experience) while achieving clinical excellence. Highlights FDG PET/CT increases efficiency of lung cancer management by 20 %, by characterizing malignant nodules from benign lesions. Today, lung nodules < 8 mm on CT are followed-up after 6 months on CT because conventional pet/ct cannot image them. If new generation PET/CTs can detect and stage nodules < 6 – 8mm, patients can be referred to PET/CT immediately and six months can be saved in treatment decision.
