Siemens' Inveon

Siemens Medical Solutions has just introduced Inveon^TM, a new generation in preclinical imaging.

Available as a modular or integrated system, this unique imaging platform enables researchers to leverage any combination of Siemens' preclinical hybrid imaging systems and leading edge applications for improved research opportunities. Inveon and other innovations from Siemens Molecular Imaging Division were showcased at the recent Academy of Molecular Imaging (AMI) meeting.

"Siemens preclinical solutions are driving medical research from the laboratory to the clinic," said Michael Reitermann, president, Molecular Imaging Division, Siemens Medical Solutions. "Inveon offers limitless solutions and the highest performance and versatility available to address research needs from academic and translational research, to drug discovery and development."

Molecular medicine combines advanced imaging with molecular biomarkers to enable the identification of disease pathways and evaluate the actions of novel therapies. As more disease-specific biomarkers are developed, researchers may be able to increase the speed at which drugs come to market. Inveon can help facilitate basic research as well as the drug development process, empowering researchers to identify specific biological processes, monitor the efficacy of compounds, and measure the effects of disease progression over time.

Inveon represents a new preclinical, multimodality imaging solution that offers a versatile and upgradeable platform as well as a comprehensive suite of preclinical analysis applications. The system enables unified control of Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), and CT data acquisition, and offers the industry's highest PET resolution and sensitivity. Inveon features advanced multi-pinhole SPECT collimators for improved sensitivity and spatial resolution; groundbreaking new PET and SPECT acquisition and processing technology; and a unique PET transmission method for faster and more accurate attenuation correction.
