GE Healthcare has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Discovery IGS 740 mobile angiography system.
The rail-free system is designed to improve patient access and flexibility in room design, and a 41 x 41-cm detector enables imaging of large organs, such as the liver, and simultaneous coverage of both legs.
A wide-bore C-arm and dedicated arm-imaging positions help image the anatomy of interest and allow full patient access from the left or right, GE said. The wide-bore C-arm also helps interventional radiologists image large patients and perform off-centered 3D acquisitions.
Discovery IGS 740 is also equipped with two customizable parking positions to accommodate multiple room sizes and shapes, according to the company. In addition, a rotating laser continuously scans the room so the system knows where it is at all times.
The system comes equipped with more than 20 advanced applications, such as FlightPlan for Liver, which helps clinicians identify tumor-feeding vessels.
