Outpatient oncology, mobile PET/CT trailers, and programs that want scalable PET sensitivity at BGO economics.
scalable BGO 2–5 ring PET/CT
Refurbished GE Discovery IQ BGO PET/CT — GE Healthcare's scalable BGO PET/CT, configurable from 2 to 5 detector rings with a 16-slice CT base. Brings Q.Clear reconstruction (block sequential regularized expectation maximization, BSREM) to the BGO detector chain for substantially improved small-lesion conspicuity vs. legacy BGO systems, while keeping the helium-free, mobile-ready, lower total-cost-of-ownership posture that makes BGO attractive for outpatient and trailer-based deployments. Strong fit for community oncology programs, mobile PET/CT routes, international markets, and replacement projects. Compared to a Discovery 690/710, the IQ trades LYSO TOF physics for scalable BGO sensitivity and modern Q.Clear reconstruction. Compared to the Discovery MI, it trades digital silicon-photomultiplier performance for a markedly lower capital cost. MIS handles sourcing, refurbishment, deinstall, transport, install, applications training, parts inventory, and engineer-led service. Mobile-trailer leasing available.
