Product Description:

The GE Discovery STE 16 PET/CT is a whole body scanner, capable of 2D and 3D acquisition modes, with a combination of Lightspeed’s high performance CT and PET. The Discovery STE is ideal for cardiology and oncology studies, but powerful and flexible enough for advanced clinical applications.  Triple axis laser alignment lights, automatic rod source storage, internally cooled gantry, and high-speed acquisition and reconstruction electronics are just some of the features the GE Discovery STE 16 offers.

Standard Features:

• Integrated gantry containing a slip-ring designed CT X-Ray tube and multi-slice detector, 24 PET detector rings of BGO crystals, high-speed acquisition and reconstruction electronics
• Patient imaging table with extended dual-patient scan range
• Dual-table and gantry motion control panels show gantry and table position
• Convenient foot pedals for table up/down control
• Fast table movement with simultaneous up/in or down/out movement
• Internally cooled gantry – Eliminates need for water chiller
• One integrated Operator Console
• Triple-axis laser alignment lights
• PET DICOM connectivity (Query, Retrieve, Send, Receive) and DICOM Print
• Attenuation correction by transmission measurements using CT or (optionally) Germanium sources
• Static, dynamic and cardiac gated emission acquisition modes
• Automatic loading and storage of all rod sources used for calibration and attenuation correction
• Can perform virtually any CT clinical application
