The Discovery IGS 740 angiography system brings both extremely high-quality imaging and complete workspace freedom to the hybrid operating room for endovascular, hybrid and open surgical procedures.
The Discovery* IGS 740 angiography system brings both extremely high-quality imaging and complete workspace freedom to the hybrid operating room.
With an exceptionally large detector see large anatomies in one view to accommodate a wide range of endovascular, hybrid and open surgical procedures, free of interference from fixed floor or ceiling system structures.
With the Discovery* IGS 740 gantry, nothing on the floor or ceiling obstructs your work or limits your mobility – your freedom is nearly absolute. An untethered, laser-guided gantry carries the imaging C-arm. You can move it to the table to image any part of the anatomy, then power it back, out of the way, to precise pre-chosen positions.
The Discovery IGS 740 provides full flexibility in your clinical space. Controls available at tableside and at the back of the gantry let you maneuver the system easily and conveniently. When in position for imaging, the gantry swivels around the table on a defined path, with precise laser guidance. Combined gantry and table movement enables you to stop and image at any point for coverage from head to toe.
One-touch back-in/back-out means fully flexible procedures.
With the Discovery IGS 740, you can truly have it both ways: Move the gantry to the table for imaging, move it aside when not needed – and all at the touch of a button. From up to nine positions at the table, you can back the gantry out to up to eleven predefined locations1. Back-out distances are customizable to suit different room sizes.
The Discovery IGS 740 gives physicians, nurses, anesthesiologists and technologists ample space to work together effectively. Clinicians can position on either side of the patient according to preference. With the offset C-arm, the anesthesiologist can work comfortably at the patient's head.
The Discovery IGS 740 brings outstanding imaging technology, with the added flexibility of a mobile C-arm. Enjoy the power of fluoroscopy for precise, real-time image guidance, 3D rotational angiography with CT-like imaging, fusion of prior 3D images from multiple modalities, plus more than 20 advanced applications to help you plan, guide and assess your procedures.
With its broad 41 x 41 cm (16.1 in) digital detector, the Discovery IGS 740 system boasts one of the largest fields of view for interventional imaging. Moreover, we designed the image chain to be dose-efficient while providing images rich with details. The 41 x 41 cm (12.2 in.) detector is the heart of a proven image chain entirely engineered and built by GE and delivers one of the industry's highest levels of DQE, the accepted measure of X-ray detector dose efficiency.
We never forget that you have a choice to make. The Discovery IGS 740 lets you choose the image quality you want while you strive for the lowest achievable dose. It starts with built-in dose efficiency. For example, with a longer source-to-body distance, the Discovery IGS 740 allows the X-ray beam to be more dispersed when it reaches the patient, enabling you to reduce skin radiation dose by as much as 10 to 15 percent2. Dose personalization, controllable from tableside, lets you choose your preferred protocols for the tasks you do every day, helping you provide personalized care. With our dose reporting tools, you can assess your current practices and learn how you can improve dose management.
Perform rotational angiography with reduced interference from anesthesia tubing or monitor cables.
Move the table without obstruction for off-center 3D acquisitions to image the borders of the liver or the skin line.
Use precious space well with flexible room designs. Build your room into a new fully functional hybrid OR, re-configure a small room, or re-purpose an existing room. You can install the Discovery IGS 740 in rooms as small as 35 square meters (377 square feet)3. You'll have the potential to increase the procedure mix in your OR with exceptional equipment for minimally invasive procedures.
Suspension-free design removes a source of contamination.
The mobile gantry leaves the room ceiling suspension-free, helping prevent contamination from airborne agents. It allows laminar flow above the surgical field even when in position for imaging, helping to meet the criteria for ISO 5 classification5.
The detector and tube can be easily fitted with sterile covers4 specially designed not to interfere with any gantry or detector motion. Sterile drapes attach quickly and easily inside the C-arm using four simple side-mounted clasps.
For hybrid, endovascular and open procedures, the GE operating room table provides significant advantages. The long tabletop (333 cm) accommodates catheters as long as 3 m and provides added space for placing sterile items. With up to 170 cm of longitudinal table travel, you can cover up to 189 cm of anatomy with table panning only. A free-floating tabletop with power-assisted motion facilitates panning for heavy patients. Table rails make it easy to attach accessories such as surgical retractors or anesthesia screen holder.
Make advanced applications part of your everyday routine.
Available right at the tableside, easy-to-use GE advanced applications help you plan, guide, and assess complex procedures with confidence on a routine, everyday basis.
Innova 3D is an acquisition mode that provides 3D imaging from rotational angiography, allowing you to clearly visualize complex vasculature in the interventional lab. It provides high-contrast 3D images that show fine spatial resolution through a full range of tissue densities. It is automatically reconstructed using your preferred parameters on the Advantage Workstation, giving you access to a full range of analysis tools.
Innova Vision overlays 3D prepared datasets from CT, MR or 3D rotational images on live fluoroscopic images in a single click. This 3D roadmapping application helps you guide devices in complex anatomies.
Innova TrackVision provides live 3D needle guidance during your procedures. It lets you advance the needle down a planned trajectory overlaid on live fluoroscopy and visualize any deviations from the desired path.
Autobone and VesselIQ* provide easily accessible, intuitive tools with which to analyze 3D angiographic data, including stenosis and aneurysm thrombus analysis, pre-stent planning and post-stent follow-up, as well as directional vessel tortuosity visualization. Its display, measurement, and batch filming/archiving features will help you maintain a streamlined and productive workflow.
Powerful 3D capabilities to visualize and interpret multimodality imaging data with ease.
Volume Viewer provides innovative 3D visualization and processing capabilities for reading and comparing CT, MR, 3D X-ray, PET, and PET/CT datasets. It also features a broad portfolio of high-performance analysis tools, automating routine tasks and helping to make 3D image processing a stress-free component of your workflow.
Acquire CT-like images in the vascular lab.
Used for clinical applications that require detailed images with low-contrast resolution, Innova* CT enhances soft-tissue visualization to help you clearly identify suspected lesions. Easy access to CT-like images right in the vascular lab means you may not need to transfer patients to a CT exam room.
Endovascular aneurysm repairs can be delicate when dealing with complex anatomies. (T)EVAR Assist solutions let you plan, guide and assess challenging procedures with confidence.
Guide your catheters with Innova Vision, which overlays 3D datasets from CT, MR or 3D rotational images on live fluoroscopic images in a single click. Either Innova 3D or pre-operative CTA images can be overlaid on top of the fluoroscopic image. Pre-operative imaging can be overlaid without acquiring an intra-operative 3D image.
Assess the endograft deployment with Innova 3D imaging, and follow up using semi-automatic sizing of the thrombus and a compare mode.
