GE Discovery ST 16 PET/CT
AMERICA North (USA-Canada-Mexico)
Refurbished GE Discovery ST 16 PET/CT —
the original Discovery ST family pairing a 16-slice GE LightSpeed-class CT base
with a BGO (bismuth germanate) PET detector ring.
Generation pre-dates Time-of-Flight and LYSO crystal upgrades,
but the platform remains an extremely common install base across oncology PET/CT programs
because of its proven reliability, wide field service network, and low entry price.
Typical clinical use cases are FDG oncology staging/restaging, lymphoma follow-up,
lung-nodule evaluation, and cardiac viability where TOF performance is not required.
Compared to a Discovery STE, the Discovery ST predates the STE's detector and
reconstruction refresh; compared to the Discovery 600/610 family,
it gives up MotionFree and modern reconstruction in exchange for a much lower capital cost.
MIS sources, refurbishes, deinstalls, ships, installs, applications-trains, and supports the
Discovery ST 16 with parts inventory and engineer-led service. Mobile leasing is available.
