GE Optima XR656 / Discovery XR656
Family: GE Discovery XR / Optima XR · Modality: Digital Radiography
Fixed-room ceiling-suspended DR system — GE's general-radiology workhorse for hospital DR rooms. FlashPad wireless detectors shared across the Optima / Discovery XR line. Used for standard chest, abdomen, extremity, and skeletal radiography. The "Discovery" tier typically adds auto-protocol and VolumeRad tomographic options; "Optima" is the base.
Variant-specific considerations
- Ceiling-suspended tube, wall-stand + table detectors
- FlashPad HD detector family (14×17, 17×17)
- Discovery tier adds VolumeRad digital tomosynthesis
- Common US / global community hospital install base
