GE Healthcare demonstrates its commitment to both clinicians and researchers by introducing improvements in predictability, efficiency, and confidence across the 600 series portfolio at RSNA 2009.

GE Healthcare, a $17 billion unit of unit of General Electric Company, announced dual detector capabilities and an enhanced application suite for its Discovery PET/CT 600 series scanners, at the 2009 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in Chicago, Illinois.

Continuing to expand access and advance the possibilities for imaging excellence with the powerful Discovery PET/CT 600 family, GE Healthcare has introduced the Discovery PET/CT 690 with BrightSpeed Elite  CT.  The BrightSpeed Elite CT provides advanced imaging and applications capabilities, further enhancing imaging quality and diagnostic confidence.

GE is the only vendor offering the choice of detectors within the same cutting-edge product series, allowing users to tailor systems to their needs. A Discovery PET/CT 600 system can also be configured with a Discovery PET/CT 690 detector, providing flexibility to excel both in clinical implementation and imaging exploration.  The entire Discovery PET/CT 600 series platform features exclusive VUE Point HD reconstruction, industry leading MotionFree imaging, and a powerfully fast reconstruction engine.

“By delivering the latest in technology to the entire platform, we are reinforcing our commitment to clinicians and researchers alike,” said Jim Mitchell, General Manager of GE Healthcare’s PET/CT business. “Whether you choose the Discovery PET/CT 600 to meet routine clinical needs, or the Discovery PET/CT 690 to explore the future of Molecular Imaging, you will be receiving the same application suite to improve predictability, efficiency, and overall user confidence.”
