Philips Healthcare
Ingenuity TF PET/CT
Leverages the Philips Astonish TF technology for enhanced image contrast, resolution and quality. The system also features Philips’ proprietary xPand5 quantification tools, to assist with measuring and monitoring disease progression. And built with the proven technologies of the Ingenuity CT platform, the system also offers the benefits of high-resolution visualization coupled with dose management techniques to manage image quality in both imaging modalities. Breakthroughs such as iDose and O-MAR (orthopedic metal artifact reduction) provide ways to produce high image quality with reduced artifacts, while the advanced iPatient platform simplifies complex procedures by automating routine tasks.





Photo Diagnostic Systems
NeuroPET/CT
The "self shielded" NeuroPET/CT includes a PET subsystem designed from the ground up with modern solid-state sensor technology, and a diagnostic quality eight-slice CT scanner. The motor-driven system is easily taken from the research area to a preclinical imaging setting. No special siting requirements, uses 120V 20A or 208V 20A power. This device is available for research use only until pre-market clearance from the FDA.



Siemens Healthcare
Biograph Horizon
Small, cost-efficient PET/CT system with low power requirements addresses clinical indications in oncology, neurology and cardiology. Possesses 4 mm LSO crystals for faster scintillation, faster and higher light output than BGO crystals, resulting in high resolution and better image quality and enabling Time-of-Flight acquisition. Fits into virtually any existing PET/CT exam room. Offers low operating and maintenance costs with automated technologies such as gentle system warm-up and automatic standby that extend the system’s economic life and reduce power consumption.



Siemens
Biograph mCT
Biograph mCT brings accurate and reproducible quantification to PET/CT imaging by optimizing each element of the measurement chain. Starting with the industry’s finest volumetric image resolution, Biograph mCT features unique daily quality control, SMART registration technologies and intelligent software to bring accuracy and reproducibility to PET/CT imaging. In addition, innovative CARE technologies help ensure the lowest possible dose is administered and the large, patient-friendly 78-cm bore with five-minute, ultra-fast scanning offers exceptional patient comfort.



Siemens
Biograph mCT Flow
Biograph mCT Flow is a groundbreaking new system that, for the first time ever, overcomes the limitations of conventional bed-based PET/CT thanks to FlowMotion, Siemens’ revolutionary technology that moves the patient smoothly through the system’s gantry, while continuously acquiring PET data. Biograph mCT Flow with FlowMotion takes routine image quality to a new level by enabling imaging protocols based on the organ’s need. FlowMotion expands accurate and reproducible quantification in all dimensions for precise disease characterization in therapy monitoring, while enabling physicians to offer as low as reasonably achievable dose to every patient. Additionally, the combination of a 78 cm bore with five-minute, ultra-fast scanning and a continuous sense of progress throughout the scan provide patients with a more comfortable exam experience.
