A year after its global introduction, the Biograph mMR - the first fully integrated whole-body molecular MR offering simultaneous MR and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging - has been embraced by research institutions, as well as private practices and the clinical environment. The Center for Modern Diagnostics (CEMODI) in Bremen, Germany, is the first private practice facility to use the Biograph mMR for routine patient examinations. More than 20 Biograph mMR units have been ordered by university hospitals, research sites and private practices worldwide. Clinical cases and images from around the world support this pioneering imaging system's arrival into the clinical world.
Molecular Imaging
At this year's RSNA, Siemens will highlight its Symbia™ family of SPECT and SPECT•CT scanners, as well as exciting new areas in imaging biomarker production and distribution. Symbia offers a broad range of specialty diagnostic tools and can satisfy the needs of virtually all facilities through innovative technologies such as IQ•SPECT and automated productivity features.

Addressing two of the most challenging issues facing physicians today - improving patient safety and increasing productivity - Symbia IQ•SPECT technology enables routine scans using half dose and double speed. Its proven technologies provide a comprehensive cardio workup, while easing the burden of the global molybdenum shortage via a reduction in technetium dose. Diagnostic SPECT•CT, including calcium scoring, uses half of the typical technetium dose and cuts acquisition time from approximately 20 minutes to less than five minutes with the addition of IQ•SPECT.
In the area of imaging biomarker production and distribution, PETNET Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc., is continuing to expand to meet the growing demand for PET radiopharmaceuticals. PETNET Solutions recently entered into a nationwide commercial agreement with Eli Lilly and Company that grants Siemens PETNET Solutions the right to manufacture and distribute Lilly's molecular imaging agent that is currently under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.
Radiography and Surgery
Luminos Agile is the first patient-side controlled system with a dynamic flat detector, height-adjustable table and true dual-use capability for fluoroscopy and radiography. Luminos Agile's 17 x 17 inch dynamic flat detector yields an image that is up to 116 percent larger and allows for better patient coverage than a 13 inch image intensifier, enabling users to view objects without repositioning the patient or changing the field of view, and reducing overall fluoroscopy time and dose. Luminos Agile's 606 lb. table weight capacity and 24 inch wide opening provide easy access for bariatric and immobile patients, and the space-saving open design enables easy access from all table sides.
