Elite clinical PET performance

See. Elite clinical PET performance.

In today’s PET/CT scanners, the PET event detection and processing chain is a sophisticated balance of many technologies including material science, detector design/assembly and electronics. Discovery VCT is based on our premium, reliable and upgradeable platform with the most complete clinical acquisition choices relevant to disease diagnosis, treatment planning and follow-up.

Highest sensitivity


The foundation of PET imaging

Discovery VCT has been optimized for advanced clinical applications with improved spatial resolution while maintaining high sensitivity– the foundation of PET imaging. Our BGO crystals deliver the best sensitivity available on the market and the highest peak NECR - Noise Equivalent Count Rate, in the clinical range. Resolution is also improved by the smaller matrix crystal, improved PMT and better calibration stability.


Clinical choice

2D, 3D and 4D acquisition options

Discovery VCT provides physicians with clinically relevant choices to image a broad patient population with a variety of clinical conditions. Physicians can choose the optimal protocol to see the full extent of disease while avoiding motion artifacts, enhancing visualization and increasing quantitative accuracy. Only GE offers 2D, 3D and 4D imaging, as well as dynamic gated PET to help you assess the full extent of functional parameters key to patient outcomes and prognoses.
