The General Electric Discovery IQ combines positron
emission tomography (PET) and computerized tomography
(CT) scans. The merger results in the detection of much smaller
cancerous lesions, exceptional image quality, and the use of
less radioactive materials.
“It is important to us to have a regional medical center
that is committed to expanding critical services,” said donor
Joe Charles who lives in Jupiter. “We wanted to help Jupiter
Medical Center find the best available technology to improve
treatment, accuracy, and enhance patients’ experiences.”
The new PET/CT scanner includes respiratory technology
that monitors each patient’s breathing pattern and stabilizes
accordingly, leading to clearer images and improved diagnosis.
The machine also involves less hardware and shortens the
length of the procedure, which increases patient comfort.
“This donation supports the growth of the oncology services
at Jupiter Medical Center and changes the outlook for our
patients,” said Liv Vesely, president of Jupiter Medical Center
Foundation. “Our physicians have a greater tool to determine
the extent of disease, so they can pinpoint the next steps for
treatment.”
The new PET/CT scanner with be housed in the Foshay
Cancer Center, which is part of the Anderson Family Cancer
Institute. The 55,000-square-foot facility opened in March
2020. It offers patients tailored treatments and access to the
world-class team at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at
the University of Miami, the only designated National Cancer
Institute (NCI) cancer center in South Florida.
