GE Healthcare has unveiled its Discovery NM/CT 670 Pro SPECT/CT scanner at this week's Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) annual meeting.
NM/CT 670 integrates GE's Optima CT 540 scanner, which includes 50-slice equivalent CT speed; dose management tools such as OptiDose, DoseWatch, and adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR); and a streamlined workflow for most standalone CT procedures, according to the vendor.
It also features Q.Metrix, an application for measuring and reporting standardized uptake values (SUVs) in the organ or lesions of interest. The software allows for quantitative SPECT SUVs with multidimensional organ and lesion characterization, GE said.
In addition, GE has incorporated its Q.AC image reconstruction algorithm, which aims to provide improved accuracy of SPECT attenuation correction to enable quantitative SPECT measurements even at very low doses, according to the firm.
The system also employs Dosimetry Toolkit, a clinical application that provides tools for organ segmentation, registration, and activity calculations for radioisotope therapy planning, GE said.
