Features

Relevant Technology

See. Relevant Technology.

Discovery ST is leading the way with technological advancements. With the highest sensitivity in the industry, it has set new standards in image quality, thus enabling improved lesion detectability. This enables you to provide an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan for your patients.

  • - Improved lesion detectability
  • - Faster scan times resulting in increased throughput
  • - Reduced dose requirements


Clinical choice

See. Clinical choice.

Since every patient is unique, effective medicine requires rools that enavle you to adapt to their specific needs. Discovery ST allows you to choose the optimal protocol with the choice of both 2D and 3D acquisition modes. This allows you to match the exam to the physical and clinical needs of your patients without compromise.

Discovery ST has also pioneered 4D technology, enabling you to gate cardiac and respiratory motion. This allows you to match the extent of tumor motion and more clearly visualize                                                     lesions that would otherwise be masked by motion artifacts.

  •                                                     - Effectively image patients of all sizes
  •                                                     - View full extent of tumor motion for improved lesion                                                       detectability and advanced radiation therapy planning
  •                                                     - Gated images enhance visualization and increase quantitative                                                       accuracy
  •                                                     - Gated acquisition in cardiac imaging provides high quality                                                        images to asses wall motion and function
