The syngo MR E11 software platform and applications are also designed for Siemens' Biograph mMR² positron emission tomography (PET)/MR scanner, which has scanned over 50,000 patients. New BodyCOMPASS² technology is designed to enable motion-free PET images with MR-based motion compensation beyond gating, which could be particularly beneficial in delineating abdominal and lung lesions, which are prone to motion. This and other planned improvements with the new software demonstrate the synergistic potential of the Biograph mMR.
