Refurbished GE Discovery NM 530c SPECT System
Looking for a reliable, cost‑effective heart camera? QDI offers a refurbished GE Discovery NM 530c for sale — a dedicated cardiac nuclear medicine camera system that brings CZT solid‑state detector performance to myocardial perfusion imaging. Our small, hands‑on team provides practical guidance and ongoing service for this class of equipment to help hospitals and clinics evaluate configuration and siting.
System Overview
The GE Discovery NM 530c is a dedicated cardiac SPECT camera introduced in 2009 that uses GE’s Alcyone multi‑pinhole geometry with pixelated CZT solid‑state detectors. A GE Discovery NM 530c SPECT refurbished unit retains the system’s high count sensitivity and energy resolution optimized for rapid cardiac studies and advanced protocols.
- Manufacturer / Model: GE HealthCare Discovery NM 530c (SPECT, dedicated cardiac)
- Detector technology: pixelated CZT (cadmium–zinc–telluride) solid‑state detectors
- Detector modules: 19 CZT detector‑pinhole modules arranged in rows (5 triplets alternating with 4 single detectors; often described as 3×9 arrangement / 19 modules)
- Per‑module detector elements: each module ~32 × 32 elements in a ~78.7 mm × 78.7 mm area
- Collimation: tungsten multi‑pinhole / pinhole collimators (one pinhole per module in DNM 530c design)
- Effective field of view: ~19 cm diameter spherical FOV (cardiac‑focused FOV)
- Gantry / table / room dimensions and weights (per GE site‑planning): gantry width 1350 mm, height 1550 mm; gantry weight ~590–650 kg (config‑dependent); patient table length ~1400 mm, width 550 mm, height 550 mm
- Power / electrical: single phase 115/230 VAC; integrated power supply and UPS requirements as listed in GE site‑planning documentation
- Reconstruction: GE Alcyone 3D iterative reconstruction algorithms supporting high‑resolution cardiac reconstructions
- Year introduced: 2009
Clinical Applications
The Discovery NM 530c is focused on cardiac nuclear medicine and enables both routine and advanced cardiac protocols.
- Myocardial perfusion imaging / cardiac SPECT (stress/rest)
- Gated SPECT (ventricular function)
- Dynamic cardiac SPECT / myocardial blood flow quantification (research/advanced protocols)
- Dual‑isotope cardiac imaging (multi‑isotope studies enabled by good energy resolution)
- Other focused cardiac radionuclide studies (e.g., viability)
Why Buy Refurbished from QDI
- Practical value vs. new: A refurbished gamma camera offers many of the core clinical capabilities of newer systems while allowing facilities to allocate budget to installation, training, and workflow improvements rather than full OEM list pricing.
- Inspection and testing: Each unit is inspected, calibrated, and tested by engineers with decades of hands‑on nuclear medicine field experience to validate imaging performance and key system functions.
- Reduced downtime and local support: QDI’s team focuses on practical troubleshooting and fast, experienced response to minimize interruptions to clinical schedules and provide dependable gamma camera service and support.
- Straightforward, honest guidance: We give clear advice on configuration, siting requirements, and realistic expectations so you can choose the right refurbished option for your department without overselling features.
