Discovery IGS 740

Free yourself from the rails

The role of interventional imaging has shifted in recent years, as more diverse and complex procedures have emerged.

The ideal system needs to overcome traditional limitations by offering flexible gantry positioning and excellent image quality at low
dose, as well as advanced applications.

Clinicians should have the opportunity to use their rooms for a wide variety of interventional and hybrid procedures. All the while,
hospitals expect their imaging system to help them deliver solid financial returns, maintain a high standard of patient safety, and
increase the quality of care.

With its innovative laser-guided motion technology, the Discovery* IGS 7401 system offers predictable and precise positioning
capabilities. With uncompromised sterility and ease in patient access, it helps create a secured OR environment.

256 x 256 x 256 mode is also available for the user who wants faster
reconstructions.
Subtracted 3D†
Subtracted 3D† enhances the Innova 3D† application by adding
automated sequential mask and contrast spin acquisitions with
processing protocols to produce subtracted 3D vascular images.
Clinicians may use Subtracted 3D† to quickly visualize vessels without
the need to remove surrounding bone, tissue and implanted devices.
The output of the 3D processing provides convenient side–by–side
and separate visualization of the mask series, the subtracted vascular
anatomy and the standard segmented 3D vascular images.
Interventional devices such as coils, stents, glue and clips, as well
as calcified plaque, are visible on the mask image and can be fused
onto the subtracted image. Transparency can be adjusted for optimal
visualization of the implanted devices in relationship to the vascular
anatomy.
ECG acquisition package†
The ECG acquisition package† provides acquisition and storage
capabilities for the ECG signal. The system displays the heart rate
value on the console and live monitor.
The ECG acquisition package† enables cardiac gating and image
stabilization during the Innova EPVision† application.
It is compatible with recording system outputs providing analog ECG
signals between +/-5 V. Connection cables compatible with Mac-Lab,
CardioLab, ComboLab are provided with this package.
IMAGE MANAGEMENT, CONNECTIVITY AND WORKFLOW
The Discovery IGS 740 system facilitates image management and
workflow using standard format and communication protocols.
Workstation capability
The Discovery IGS 740 system can perform basic analysis and review
functions, including DSA analysis functions such as pixel shift, as well
as optional quantitative stenosis analysis and quantitative ventricular
analysis.
For advanced image review and analysis, two optional workstations,
the AW and the CA1000 workstations, can be connected to the system
depending on site requirements.
Emergency power supply
In case of power outage, a 20kVA Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS7)
provides vital minutes of emergency table control and fluoroscopy to
position the table in an optimal position and continue critical aspects
of a case in progress, should power be interrupted.

It also features close integration with the AW and CA1000 CUSTOMER SERVICE
workstations to provide advanced image review and processing Advanced remote connectivity allows GE to monitor systems and
capabilities. intervene if necessary.

• Data acquisition is at 14 bits Serviceability

sequence. Storage capacity: 136,000 cardiac images
• DSA images with 12 bits data are stored in 16 bits, maximum 450
images per sequence. Storage capacity: 68,000 DSA images
• DICOM images are output on 100Mbit Ethernet with Autosend
and background transfer for fast transmission with minimal user
interaction
• The user can do full resolution 1024 x 1024 DICOM push to retain
image quality at acquisition (configurable to 512 x 512 for cardiac
acquisitions)
• Patient Worklist capability provides a single point of entry of
patient data, helping enhance staff productivity and minimize
clerical errors: Patient information can easily be imported to the
digital imaging system from information systems that support
DICOM Worklist Service Class Provider
The Discovery IGS 740 Digital System Manager simplifies
troubleshooting and minimizes downtime with built-in equipment
error logging and power-up diagnostics in real time. Resident software
monitors the entire system, including peripheral hardware. The
Discovery IGS 740 system features 24-hour InSite* remote service
diagnostics and repair. InSite service is available to systems covered
by the original warranty or by a GE service contract (broadband
required).
Extended service†
An optional full-service contract ensures uptime even after the original
warranty expires and provides advanced remote diagnostics through
a broadband or phone connection.

• Multi-destination Push enables images to be sent to multiple

remote DICOM destinations sequentially. Multi-destination Push
helps support a clinical scenario of handling post-processing and
archival activities in multiple destinations independently of each
other (workstation, PACS)

• MPPS: Modality Performed Procedure Step allows to share the main

exam parameters with the hospital information system

• For the Innova 3D option, the user can direct-push the 3D

acquisition directly to the GE AW workstation, even if the images of
the exam are pushed to a PACS or another archiver
