Siemens Shapes the Future of Integrated Diagnostic Imaging
Date:10/10/2008

It is available in detector configurations of 40-, 64-, and 128-slices, a first in integrated scanners. Biograph mCT's powerful HD-PET technology delivers highly detailed images with up to four times as much contrast. In fact, it is the world's only PET technology that offers 2 mm uniform resolution throughout the field of view (FOV).

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.
