"More than 65 percent of health care institutions in the U.S. that are planning to purchase a new PET/CT system in the near future will be either replacing such a system or adding an additional unit,5" says Mario Zeiss, Vice President, Global Marketing and Sales, Siemens Healthcare, Molecular Imaging. "Biograph Horizon's premium PET/CT technology and small footprint make it ideal for this market. The system's versatility and scalability helps providers serve a broader mix of patients and expand into new service lines, creating competitive advantage and new opportunities for growth."
To increase productivity and time spent with patients, Biograph Horizon simplifies staff's daily routine by automating manual tasks and offering protocol-based exams. For example, the Quanti•QC feature can run quality control procedures overnight, scans can be performed in as fast as 5 minutes, and reconstruction runs alongside acquisition for image delivery just 30 seconds after the scan.10
