GE Discovery VCT / LightSpeed VCT Discovery
Family: GE LightSpeed VCT · Modality: CT
Variant of the 64-slice VCT platform marketed under "Discovery VCT" branding for cardiac-capable installations — ECG-gated cardiac CTA, calcium scoring, and general radiology. Hardware largely shared with the LightSpeed VCT; the "Discovery" branding indicates a higher cardiac-software tier.
Variant-specific considerations
- 64-slice detector, 0.625 mm nominal slice
- SnapShot Pulse gated cardiac protocol
- Performix-class tube; same generator and gantry as LightSpeed VCT
- Refurb-market mainstay
Parts
Performix tube, detector modules, slip-ring, table; commonality with LightSpeed VCT (see that card).
