A Revolution in Interventional Imaging
GE Healthcare recently revealed the Discovery* IGS 730[1], a new category of interventional imaging systems. It is neither floor- nor ceiling-mounted, but enables full patient access without the need to suspend the system above the patient. It has the mobility of a C-arm with the power and image quality of a fixed system. This laser-guided, motorized mobile gantry creates an interventional environment without boundaries. It allows complete access to the patient and unlimited parking capability, while enabling sterility for a flexible and secure OR environment. The unique gantry comes with a new wide bore design, which allows for steep angles, ease in 3D acquisition, especially for large patients.
In addition to its mobility, Discovery IGS 730 comes equipped with more than 20 advanced applications. With Discovery IGS 730, doctors will be able to rediscover space and movement while accessing all the advanced imaging capabilities of GE premium interventional systems.

New features and functionality on the MacLab are designed to address the need for a convenient way to document clinical data during cardiac cath and IR procedures, streamline workflow to potentially help see more patients daily, and decrease potential for errors or loss of data. [3] The CardioLab is designed to reduce workflow bottlenecks and help physicians better visualize the electrical signals that are critical to EP procedures. Also, powerful tools are available to support clinical research and staff training.
