Características e Benefícios

Features & Benefits

Accuracy to reveal the bigger picture

Biograph Vision is specifically designed to break through the limits of spatial and temporal resolution. With 3.2-mm crystals, Biograph Vision delivers high spatial resolution to reduce the impact of partial volume effect (PVE). Along with higher spatial resolution, a faster time of-flight also makes it easier to see small lesions². This helps you quantify more accurately and more confidently understand disease progression.

“…by improving the spatial resolution…you have less partial volume effect, so you get sharper images and more accurate quantification.”

Professor Ronald Boellard, PhD University Medical Center Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands

Performance to maximize efficiency

Biograph Vision can help you optimize your clinical operations with quality images and efficient workflow. With the market’s highest effective sensitivity at 100 cps/kBq³ and the fastest time-of flight in the industry⁴Biograph Vision can not only reduce scan time and injected dose to boost productivity, it can also improve image quality. Combined with FlowMotion, it is designed to reduce unnecessary exposure to CT radiation, provide greater patient comfort, and decrease examination times.²

“We have now already, as compared to the older system, reduced the activity we inject… Now it's probably 30% faster with about 30% less dose which is something very acceptable.”

Professor John Prior, PhD, MD, FEBNM Centre hospitalier universitaire Vaudois (CHUV), Lausanne, Switzerland

Reproducibility to understand disease progression

Biograph Vision can help reduce unwarranted variations to maximize patient care. Its zero-differential-deflection patient bed provides perfect registration between the CT and PET fields of view, ensuring accurate attenuation correction for more precise quantification. QualityGuard⁵ automates daily and weekly quality control without a radioactive source to help produce consistent and accurate results. FlowMotion Multiparametric PET Suite makes it easier and faster to perform parametric imaging in daily clinical routine. It is completely automated and integrated into the PET/CT workflow for more reproducible images.

“Being more quantitative, our reproducibility can be that much better, and it may matter when we’re trying to do a repeat scan early on in a therapy and decide what to do.”

Richard E. Carson, PhD Yale PET Center Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, USA

Technical Details

Transcend digital with the Optiso UDR detector

Optiso UDR’s proprietary 3.2 mm LSO crystals move silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) technology beyond digital to a new level of precision to help you detect small lesions, devise accurate treatment strategies and achieve optimal performance in a wide range of count rates.

What is UDR?

The new Optiso Ultra Dynamic Range (UDR) detector uses multiple technologies to provide optimal performance in a wide range of count rates. Fast time-of-flight and high effective sensitivity provide excellent performance in low and medium activity ranges such a ⁹⁰Y, ¹⁸F and⁶⁸Ga applications.

A small block detector with low dead time makes it suitable to operate in the high-activity concentrations found in studies with very short-lived tracers, such as ⁸²Rb and ¹⁵O.

Proprietary LSO scintillator

For faster time-of-flight and better image quality

Siemens is the only PET manufacturer that owns the entire manufacturing process of the detector. It allows us to closely control the process quality and gives the flexibility to explore different detector designs.

Grown, cut, and individually selected in-house
Self-manufactured to enable precise specifications and complete detector redesign
Higher light output and faster scintillation¹, enabling faster time-of-flight and better image quality

3.2mm crystals

For improved, more precise imaging

Smaller crystal elements and block size improve small-lesion detectability by delivering better volumetric resolution. Biograph Vision's 3.2 mm crystals allow you to see smaller lesions to help you confidently stage, risk-stratify, and develop appropriate treatment strategies sooner.

Small crystal elements improve signal-to-noise ratio and quantitative accuracy
60% better volumetric resolution¹

Clinical Images: Neurology

Excellent delineation of functioning cortex and sharp contrast between cortex and white matter. Additionally there is sharp basal ganglial edge definition, especially the sharp margins and distinct separation of the head of caudate nucleus and putamen.

Clinical Images: Cardiology

High image quality with sharp definition of left ventricular margins with low noise on a 700 MBq (18.9 mCi) 82Rb for both stress and rest.

Clinical Images: Oncology

The ankle and knee joints are clearly delineated, and the bones of the mid foot can be visualized as well. Papillary musculature and excellent definition of the aortic wall and cardiac chambers can also be seen.
With Biograph Vision precise localization of PET activity can be achieved, which can possibly affect patient management.

The first PET/CT with 100% coverage

For optimized performance
Time-of-flight performance depends on collecting light from all photons in the scintillation. Biograph Vision is designed so SiPMs cover the entire LSO-array area, allowing all light from the scintillation to be detected. This leads to 100% coverage¹ and enables fast temporal resolution.

Provides 214 ps (picosecond) temporal resolution¹ for the fastest² time‐of‐flight and highest effective sensitivity²
3.9x higher effective sensitivity³ for faster scans and lower dose

Better time-of-flight reduces noise

Less noise means greater image clarity, making small lesions easier to find.
