Data Sheet

Not for distribution to U.S. customers.

Discovery* IQ, GE Healthcare’s latest PET/CT innovation, is designed to deliver both excellent image quality and consistent quantitation,
without compromise. Discovery IQ is equipped to provide what you need to help with your primary mission – delivering the best possible
patient outcomes.

PET Features - Quantitative Imaging

At GE, our ongoing focus is to work toward standardization across a patient’s entire diagnostic experience. A crucial aspect of this within
PET imaging is the achievement of consistency. Every variable in the workflow — from a patient’s respiratory motion to the imaging system’s
settings and protocols — can interfere with the ability to capture relevant, reliable and consistent data. Q.Suite is a set of innovative
quantitative imaging tools from GE Healthcare designed to neutralize and manage variability, enabling repeatable accuracy for every SUV
measurement, from one exam to the next.

Quantitative Imaging – PET Reconstruction Quantitative Imaging – Motion Correction

PET Powerful, expandable GE PET reconstruction
Reconstruction‡** technology makes PET/CT workflow clinically
relevant by handling large PET/CT data sets
with ease. The GPU processors routinely
reconstruct PET images for clinically relevant
data and display of images while your patient is
still on the table.
Reconstruct 3D IR and motion-corrected gated
studies at incredible speeds with Q.Core Pro –
2 GPUs or Q.Core Power – 4 GPUs options.
Q.Clear‡ Full convergence iterative reconstruction
technology providing up to 2 times improvement
in PET quantitation accuracy (SUVmean) and up to
2 times improvement in image quality (SNR) for
small lesion detection, fast and efficient reading
and a more confident diagnosis.
Q.AC‡ Accurate attenuation correction is required for
quantitative PET imaging. But in large anatomy
imaging at low doses, the CT beam may not be
strong enough to fully penetrate through the
patient to the detector, potentially resulting in
variations in attenuation measurements. Our
next-generation Q.AC algorithm is designed to
reduce potential variance, helping to ensure
that the attenuation coefficients used in
image reconstruction are accurate. This may
improve consistency even in the most clinically-
demanding circumstances.
Q.Freeze‡ Q.Freeze is designed to combine the quantitative
benefits of 4D phase-matched PET/CT imaging into
a single static image. By collecting CT and PET data
at each phase of the breathing cycle, then matching
the data for attenuation correction purposes,
Q.Freeze is designed to facilitate quantitative
consistency. None of the acquisition data is wasted,
as 100% of the counts collected are combined to
create a single static image. The goal – a resulting
image that has the dual benefit of frozen patient
motion and reduced image noise. Combine with
Q.AC to create 4D cine data for attenuation
correction of PET images at low dose levels.
Q.Static‡ Represents a starting point for adding motion
correction techniques to your facility and the
opportunity to build towards a full 4D phase-
matched workflow. Without disrupting your
standard whole-body workflow, Q.Static
automatically isolates data when organs are in a
low-motion state, thereby correcting for motion
across the entire chest or torso. The result is a
single image series with reduced blurring from
organ motion and therefore
more consistent quantitation compared to
a static image.
