Siemens Shapes the Future of Integrated Diagnostic Imaging

Date:10/10/2008

n be used for additional metabolic information. Biograph mCT is the only imaging device to offer whole-body PET-CT scanning in just five minutes(1), a revolutionary feature that optimizes flexibility and efficiency.

From an investment standpoint, using one, all-encompassing scanner is a highly efficient means of making the most of an institution's imaging equipment and strengthening the existing workflows between radiology and molecular imaging.

"Biograph mCT is the quintessential definition of efficiency; one team, one room, one machine, and one comfortable patient," said Montag. "It offers the potential of diagnosing disease earlier and more effective management of disease at reduced costs. Speaking directly to the bottom line, 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 in tandem.

More About Biograph mCT

With a small footprint, large bore, a short tunnel and an extra-wide, 500-pound-capacity bed (227 kg), Biograph mCT is designed to accommodate all kinds of patients -- including pediatric, bariatric, and geriatric -- comfortably and easily. The ability to complete studies in less time can reduce patients' anxiety. Biograph mCT's large 78 cm bore can also help to alleviate patients' sense of claustrophobia and allows better positioning of RTP devices, such as breast boards, and makes scanning of obese patients easier.

Biograph mCT adapts to virtually all patient types and clinical needs. Its unmatched isotropic resolution in CT, combined with its industry-best rotation time, brings out the finest anatomical details in every scan -- routine and advanced -- limiting motion artifacts.
