Biograph TruePoint PET•CT The World’s First HD•PET Platform

2

A flexible, high-powered medical imaging platform, Siemens Biograph™ offers an unmatched range of performance options to enhance image resolution and quality, and to improve patient satisfaction and throughput.

Biograph’s clinical solutions are designed specifically for hybrid modality integration, providing what you and your patients’ need most — clinical accuracy and speed to diagnosis. Choose from various multi-slice CT configurations, high or standard resolution options, and clinical configu-ration options to customize the Biograph solution to meet your specific needs.

1976 First commercial PET scanner

Biograph was developed by Siemens, a pioneer in innovative imaging techniques and clinical applications. Siemens goal is simple — to provide you with the clinical solutions that enable a faster diagnosis, state-of-the-art case management, and proven outcomes. And, time and again, we’ve answered that call:

It’s time to think big. True volumetric PET•CT with TrueV, a revolutionary technology from Siemens, increases the PET field of view by an eye-opening 33 percent in the axial dimensi-on. It’s the largest PET•CT field of view in the industry.* TrueV is proven to increase count rate performance by greater than 70 percent, giving you the flexibility to lower dose rates or scan times by 50 percent. It provides you with the most functional information possible per PET bed position and reveals clear breath-taking PET images.

True VolumeClarity and detail you have to see to believe.

But that is not the complete TruePoint™ story. The combination of the incredible metabolic detail of our PET technology with true volu-metric CT provides outstanding hybrid clinical image quality. It’s the surest way to see exactly what activity is taking place in the body and exactly where to localize it.

True Clarity See what you’ve been missing.

Biograph TruePoint PET•CT completely integrates the functional sensitivity of PET with the rich anatomical detail of diagnostic multislice CT. Exclusive technologies, such as HD•PET, TrueV, HI-REZ, LSO, Pico-3D, TrueC, and SureView, offer superb image quality for improved diagnostic confidence. With Biograph TruePoint, the world’s first high definition PET platform, you can be more confident in your ability to detect changes in molecular activity before ana-tomical changes become visible.

Biograph TruePoint PET•CT helps you to reveal primary tumors, detect metastases and quantify uptake. Whether you’re working in oncology, cardiology, or neurology, you need the most complete set of information possible in order to make a truly accurate diagnosis. Biograph TruePoint PET•CT reveals the tiniest abnormalities in the clearest detail.

Biograph TruePoint PET•CT brings you exceptional lesion detectability with the best spatial resolution in the indus-try.* With HD•PET and z-Sharp CT technology, you can quickly find and identify lesions, and can increase your diagnostic confidence.

Thanks to our advanced TruePoint technologies like LSO crystals, Pico-3D electronics, True V extended PET field of view and UFC detectors for fast CT rotation times, you can now acquire images twice as fast as with a tradition-al PET•CT scan — all without sacrificing image quality.

High resolution, high speed acquisitionsresult in dramatically increased patient comfort and throughput.

TruePoint technology can also achieve full diagnostic confidence with only half the injected dose. Collecting greater than 70 percent more data with TrueV, you can reduce the amount of each injected dose by as much as 50 percent and with CARE Dose4D reduce the CT dose by 66 percent. Lower patient radiation exposure translates into higher levels of patient safety.

Accuracy. Your patients expect it of you, why shouldn’t you expect it from your imaging technology? That’s the promise of TruePoint PET•CT — the ability to pinpoint the loca-tion, size, nature, and extent of disease at its earliest stage. With earlier and more accu-rate diagnoses, you can plan treatment more effectively, provide feedback on treatment

efficacy, avoid unnecessary invasive surgery, and improve the overall care for patients. And with a suite of powerful pro prietary clinical applications, you can optimize images to streamline interpretation and to improve workflow efficiency. After all, the earlier you can diagnose disease, the sooner you can begin treatment.

The growth of new molecular imaging trac-ers and technology is exploding. As tracers become even better at targeting disease, they will also expand the role of imaging beyond diagnostics. Molecular imaging will enable Biograph TruePoint PET•CT tech-nology to play a larger role in disease man-agement as it is increasingly used in staging, planning, therapy monitoring, and follow-up. Siemens offers the leading-edge technology,

ever-expanding capabilities, and ongoing support you need to realize the full potential of molecular imaging. As the field of molec-ular imaging is propelled into the future, Biograph prepares you with field upgrades in both PET and CT technology today to allow you to meet the molecular imaging require-ments of tomorrow.
