A new generation of the world’s first digital PET/CT platform.

Built with breakthrough digital PET technology, the latest in diagnostic CT and advanced quantitative software, Discovery™ MI was created to both accelerate your research and enhance your clinical work. Now, with Discovery MI Gen 2, we see an evolution of this incredible imaging technology. Not only is it engineered to reach an impressive 30 centimeters of coverage¹ and paired with a diagnostic CT that allows deep-learning based image reconstruction, it was also thoughtfully developed to provide a more efficient technologist experience. Welcome to a new generation of digital PET/CT.

The LightBurst Digital Detector is a key component of what made Discovery MI the leading digital PET system. This innovative digital PET detector technology combines a small lutetium-based scintillator crystal array with a Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) block design for significant improvements in sensitivity, scan times and required dose levels compared to similar ToF technology. Discovery MI Gen 2 is designed for next-level digital detection with an axial FOV scalable up to 30 centimeters¹ and the corresponding potential to reach even greater levels of sensitivity.

Revolution™ EVO Gen 3 brings the precision of diagnostic CT to digital PET. Clearly see details as small as 0.28 millimeters with the enhanced spatial resolution of the Clarity Imaging Chain. Work around metal implants by virtually eliminating streaks and shadows from metal artifacts with Smart MAR. Then, take your CT experience even further on a system designed for TrueFidelity, our latest innovation in CT image reconstruction technology that uses a deep-learning based reconstruction engine to combine the low-dose CT you expect with the image texture you want.

For years, low dose was the benchmark for image quality by which every CT image was held. We helped set the standard for low-dose imaging back in 2008 by introducing the industry’s first iterative reconstruction technology capable of lowering dose. Over the years, the benchmark has changed. While dose is still important, radiologists are looking for an image texture reminiscent of the text-book quality images they studied in medical school. To that end, we’ve introduced Deep Learning Image Reconstruction, what we feel is the future of image quality. It uses artificial intelligence to combine the low dose of iterative reconstruction with a “classic-looking” image texture.

A CT that keeps getting better

TrueFidelity is available through Smart Subscription, the industry’s first subscription-based service for advanced applications. Smart Subscription helps solve the oldest challenge with buying imaging equipment: every time you buy a new system, you’re locked in to its capabilities even as new capabilities become available. Smart Subscription overcomes this challenge by making it possible to automatically keep your system up to date. So, for the first time, you can expect your hybrid CT to keep improving for as long as you have it.

AutoIN gives your technologists the ability to landmark and position the patient table from the console in the control room. This improves the imaging workflow. By keeping technologists at the console, AutoIN helps reduce exposure to radiation as well as limits contact wtih contagious diseases.

Discovery MI Gen 2 is designed for a new generation of digital PET imaging. Our goal is to expand your clinical perspective with up to 30 centimeters of coverage¹, system sensitivity of up to 30 cps/kBq¹, trusted Q.Clear quantitation and the proven clarity of MotionFree images. By combining next generation digital PET technology with an efficient technologist experience and the potential for deep-learning based CT image reconstruction, the promise of the digital PET experience is stronger than ever.

1. Discovery MI Gen 2 30 cm configuration with WB Dynamic IQ Protocol is CE marked. It is 510(k) pending at U.S. FDA. Not available for sale in the U.S.
2. As demonstrated in a clinical evaluation consisting of 60 cases and seven physicians, where each case was reconstructed with both DLIR and ASiR-V™ and evaluated by three of the physicians. In 90 percent of the reads, DLIR’s noise texture was rated better than ASiR-V’s. In 99 percent of the reads, DLIR’s image sharpness was rated the same as or better than ASiR-V’s.
3. Discovery MI Gen 2 (25 cm AFOV) has the highest NEMA sensitivity and peak NECR (up to 20 kBq/ml) in the market, comparing with common PET/CT systems with same or similar AFOV (based on IMV’s Medical Information Division’s 2019 report as the manufacturers representing more than 90 percent of the U.S. Installed Base).
4. With Discovery MI Gen 2 30 cm configuration compared to 25 cm configuration. 33% reduction in scan time or injected dose, as shown in phantom testing. 30 cm configuration is CE marked, but 510(k) pending at U.S. FDA. Not available for sale in the U.S.
5. Whole-body Dynamic IQ Protocol enhances acquisitions currently limited to single FOV dynamic acquisition or manual prescription of multiple whole-body static scans.
6. Processing software is needed for diagnostic purposes.
7. As demonstrated in phantom testing using a typical and fast respiratory model and OSEM reconstruction. Quantitative accuracy improvements are based on SUVmean.
8. Compared to non-processed (STATIC, no motion correction) data. As demonstrated in phantom testing using a typical and fast respiratory model, 18 mm GE-68 spheres and OSEM reconstruction.
9. Based on clinical practice at University Hospital Zurich, using 5-Ring PET/CT with MotionFree and RPM. These results are for illustrative purposes only and represent specific customer experiences; actual results could vary depending on clinical practice and circumstances.
