See. Volume CT.
Discovery VCT incorporates GE's 64-slice LightSpeed™ VCT technology to give you an outstanding combination of high-speed, sub-millimeter resolution and wide coverage that is critical to diagnostic confidence.
With Discovery VCT, you can freeze cardiovascular motion, view pure arterial phase imaging and experience excellent multi-planar reformats through routine high resolution acquisitions. Our industry-leading CT gives you the speed, power and image quality critical for coronary imaging. This means reduced imaging time, shorter breath holds, lower exposure, wide coverage in a single acquisition and the ability to image a broader range of patients.

5-Beat Cardiac
Fully robust and repeatable procedure
Discovery VCT offers the unique opportunity to scan in just 5 beats, imaging the coronary arteries, cavities and myocardium assessment in pure arterial phase. 5-Beat Cardiac minimizes heart rate variability, delivering a diagnostic study for virtually every patient. Delivering a true coverage of 40 mm per rotation, a rotation speed of 0.35 sec, for an acquisition in a short breath-hold, Discovery VCT makes cardiac CT a routine examination.

CT Angiography
Pure arterial phase from head to toe
With virtually no trade-off between speed and high resolution, Discovery VCT provides a complete assessment of vascular segments including lumen views and the vessel wall. Optimized injection protocols combined with flexibility in the acquisition parameters lead to a large anatomical coverage within arterial phase and consequently to new limits in vessel visualization. The combination of excellent image quality and color-coded plaque capability, makes CT angiography a new standard in vascular investigation.

Triple RuleOut
All in one chest pain management
The Triple RuleOut™ acquisition, based on an ECG gated protocol, allows extended anatomical coverage for a patient exhibiting acute chest pain in an emergency environment. This information is critical to ruling out coronary disease, pulmonary embolism or aortic dissection– the three most life-threatening causes of chest pain. All in just 12 seconds during one simple, less invasive exam from a single contrast injection.

Organ Perfusion
Wide tumor coverage in one rotation
Volume CT perfusion provides results in the evaluation of primary tumor targets, metastases and therapy follow-up. The 4 cm coverage of Discovery VCT doubles the viewable tumor size and tissue region. CT is also a technique of choice for lung nodule assessment, including growth over time and progress of therapy. In addition, CT shows a growing impact on colon cancer and polyp characterization as a less invasive technique well-tolerated by the patient.
