GE- Discovery NM-CT 570c

The new Alcyone technology will be available on both the Discovery NM 530c and the Discovery NM/CT 570c. Alcyone’s heightened sensitivity and zero equipment motion improves both image quality and energy resolution, enabling the potential for new clinical applications including 3D dynamic acquisitions and simultaneous dual isotope imaging.
With conventional nuclear cardiac imaging, a patient must hold their arms above their head for two scans that take between 15-20 minutes each. With the Discovery NM 530c, the scanning time is reduced to 3-5 minutes for each scan. This reduction in time can be less painful, and possibly reduce any patient movement due to the pain or uncomfortable positioning, causing artifacts in the scan. A shorter, more comfortable scan has the opportunity to improve image quality, allowing clinicians to be more confident in their diagnosis.
The Discovery NM/CT 570c has the ability to perform a complete cardiac scan in less than five minutes including myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), Computed Tomographic Angiography (CTA), and calcium scoring (CaSC). The Discovery NM/CT 570c also shortens acquisition times, improves dose management, and enables more convenient patient scheduling in comparison to separate, conventional SPECT and CT exams.
Building a growth framework for nuclear cardiology departments to evolve with changing patient needs, GE Healthcare also provides a practical upgrade pathway from Ventri, the dedicated conventional nuclear cardiology camera. With the launch of Alycone technology, clinicians now have the option of upgradeability to the Discovery NM530c and Discovery NM/CT 570c systems.

GE is committed to pioneering technologies that enable clinicians to change the way that healthcare is delivered to patients. Nowhere is this commitment stronger than in nuclear cardiology.
This is the nuclear imaging system you’ve imagined with the revolutionary capabilities that you told us you needed:
• Better image quality to improve visualization and diagnostic confidence.
• More accurate access to dynamic function and flow.
• Flexibility to manage dose more effectively.
• Faster exams to optimize patient care and workflow.
We’ve met the challenge and can now bring to you:
• An up to 4 fold increase in sensitivity and zero equipment motion for improved image quality.
• Potential new clinical applications for 3D dynamic acquisitions enabling first pass and other dynamic applications.
• The choice for dose reduction, fast acquisition or improvement in statistics – it’s up to you.
• Scans as fast as 3 minutes improving your workflow and patient experience.
Alcyone technology harnesses four leading-edge technologies in nuclear imaging: CZT detectors, focused collimation, 3D reconstruction, and stationary data acquisition.
The sum of their strengths is an imaging platform with powerful new capabilities to help you increase diagnostic confidence and efficiency, and achieve your goals in nuclear cardiology. Available in SPECT (Discovery NM 530c) and SPECT/CT (Discovery NM/CT 570c) configurations, Alcyone technology will take your department and your work to new heights.

If the future arrived today, what could you accomplish?
