Biograph mCT also addresses two of the foremost concerns related to scanning: scan time and radiation dose. With its ultra-low dose capability and super-fast PET acquisition time, scanning can be less stressful for the clinician and the patient.
"The ability to provide a high-quality imaging environment for patients that is accommodating, comfortable and reliable plays a key role in the success of a healthcare provider," said Montag. "The investment made in imaging equipment, such as this, will provide clinicians the information necessary to best diagnose and treat patients."
With Biograph mCT, a single room can be transformed into a fast, dual-modality scanning facility, where both CT and PET can be operated in one room with one staff, one schedule, and if required, one comprehensive exam. As a result, space, time and costs that would be required to implement such high-end systems separately can be reduced, while maximizing dual-modality utilization.
