ction, is the world's only PET system that offers 2 mm uniform resolution throughout the entire field of view (FOV) and 4x enhanced lesion contrast compared to standard PET scans. In addition, Biograph mCT can achieve an unprecedented whole-body five minute PET-CT acquisition time by leveraging the combination of ultraHD-PET technology and Siemens exclusive extended field of view, TrueV.

Unprecedented Utilization Opportunity

From a bottom line perspective, to use one integrated scanner that offers shared services between molecular imaging and radiology departments is a highly efficient means of making the most of an institution's imaging equipment and strengthening the existing workflows between the two departments. Biograph mCT offers scalability for both CT and PET, offering from 40 to 128 slices in CT, and a broad range of PET features from TrueV to ultra HD-PET, providing unmatched throughput, image quality and scan speeds. All of these features can be upgraded in the field.

Biograph mCT is the ultimate in efficiency: one team, one room, one machine, and one comfortable patient. With Biograph mCT, an institution may only need to purchase one imager instead of two, representing a huge cost-savings potential in a time when healthcare budgets are tight. The consolidation of equipment, staff and scan times can enable major cost savings, return on investment and excellence in patient care, as well as patient and staff satisfaction when innovation and integration work together.

The Siemens Healthcare Sector is one of the world's largest suppliers to the healthcare industry. The company is a renowned medical solutions provider with core competence and innovative strength in diagnostic and therapeutic technologies as well as in knowledge engineering, including information technology and system integration. With its laboratory diagnostics acquisitions, Siemens Healthcar
