An exceptional system for the technology and clinical explorer, the Discovery* PET/CT 690 can potentially help you forge the future and advance your leadership by pushing PET/CT to its very limits and beyond.

From time of flight done right to short reconstruction times, the Discovery PET/CT 690 gives you results faster than previous generation GE systems, pushing PET/CT to the limits of clinical use.

The Discovery PET/CT 690 is specially designed for speed and efficiency – from short exam times through total system design, optimized protocols, fast and intelligent time-of-flight reconstruction, and superb multi-modality imaging. 

• Flexibility to expand explorations far past 18F-FDG to the future generation of disease specific tracers, to diagnose and monitor more diseases, and to explore the efficacy of novel treatments.
• Fast reconstruction that enables reviewing and display of images while your patient is still on the table with powerful and expandable IBM BladeCenter** cell technology. 
• Ability to visualize large-volume, thin-slice data and enhance diagnostic capabilities with 3D visualization and analysis solutions with Advantage Workstation* technology. 
• Minimize the effects of physiological movement, specifically for anatomy subject to respiratory and cardiac motion, with motion management technologies.
• Complete flexibility in patient contact and system control with convenient panels and displays on both the front and the rear of the scanner. 
• Multi-use flexibility to use your scanner for PET/CT studies, or for individual PET or CT scans, to better serve your entire patient community.

Discovery PET/CT 690 is packed with advanced technologies that let you stay on top of tomorrow.

• High-speed Quad-Anode photomultiplier tubes custom designed with fast front-end electronics that enable stable timing resolution independent of count rate. 
• Reconstruction technique with timing information and all corrections within the iterative loop, detector geometry modeling, and model-based 3D scatter correction. 
• InSite* OnWatch remote service technology that constantly analyzes data to potentially eliminate faults before they occur.
• Remote digital service such as TiP* Virtual Assist (TVA) On Demand that provide convenient, real-time training, information and support right where your staff needs it – at the imaging console.
