Equipment detail / PET/CT Systems
Oncology PET/CT programs, hospital replacements, and outpatient sites that want LYSO sensitivity with a 64-slice CT base at a meaningful discount to a Discovery 690/710 LYSO TOF flagship.
LYSO 64-slice PET/CT
Refurbished GE Discovery VCT RX 64 PET/CT (6x9 LYSO) — the LYSO crystal upgrade of the Discovery VCT family, pairing a 64-slice GE LightSpeed VCT CT gantry with a LYSO (lutetium yttrium orthosilicate) PET detector ring in a 6x9 module configuration. The RX upgrade brings the LYSO sensitivity and timing-resolution improvements that BGO systems cannot match, supporting Time-of-Flight reconstruction and improved small-lesion conspicuity for FDG oncology, lymphoma follow-up, head-and-neck imaging, cardiac viability, brain PET, and theranostics-adjacent workflows. Sits below the Discovery 690/710 LYSO TOF flagships in the GE PET/CT lineup but above the BGO Discovery VCT, Discovery 600/610, and Discovery STE generations — making it a sweet-spot platform for programs that want real LYSO physics on a 64-slice CT base without the Discovery 690/710 capital cost. Compared to the BGO Discovery VCT 8x6, the RX brings a LYSO crystal chain, faster timing resolution, and TOF-capable reconstruction. Compared to the Discovery 690 64 PET/CT, the RX trades the latest VUE Point FX/HD reconstruction stack and Q.Clear options for a meaningfully lower acquisition cost and a mature parts pipeline. Strong fit for mid-volume oncology PET/CT programs, mobile-unit deployments, hospital replacements, and international markets that want LYSO performance on a value capital line. As a GE-trained, engineer-led refurbisher, MIS handles sourcing, refurbishment, deinstall, transport, install, applications training, parts inventory (including LYSO module support), and engineer-led service. Mobile-trailer leasing and lease-to-own programs available for capacity, replacement, or interim projects.
