Expert talk about artificial intelligence in molecular imaging

Expert talk (6:29)
by Dr. Sven Zuehlsdorff, MI, Siemens Healthineers
This year marks 25 years of Biograph leading the way as the first commercial medical imaging device to combine PET and CT.

Biograph PET/CT – with AIDAN

Finding solutions that improve diagnostic accuracy, enable an exceptional patient experience, and lift organizational performance is critical. Today, Biograph Horizon™, Biograph™ mCT, and Biograph Vision™ scanners continue to be at the forefront through artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled functionality made possible by AIDAN.

Our customers say ...

"Artificial intelligence used in AIDAN features is very nicely integrated; you don't really see it and makes them very natural to use.”

Leading the way with artificial intelligence 

AIDAN is the result of 25 years of hardware and software innovations that enable next-generation solutions in oncology, cardiology, and neurology. We were the first to bring AI-powered applications to the scanner. With more than 40 AI offerings from over 700 machine- and deep-learning patents across Siemens Healthineers, we continue to lead the drive to bring new AI functionality to PET/CT. 

ALPHA for innovative and smart molecular imaging applications 

ALPHA for innovative and smart molecular imaging applications - artificial intelligence application in nuclear medicine
Automatic landmarking and parsing of human anatomy (ALPHA), a Siemens Healthineers proprietary technology, supports optimized workflows on both scanners and syngo.via reading solutions.

ALPHA can be used to recognize and infer anatomical patterns and consists of an algorithm to detect anatomical landmarks at its core. The algorithm is designed to mimic the human foveal vision system. The underlying technology is a multi-layered, machine-learning algorithm that has been trained using many expert-annotated images across modalities and uses three redundancy concepts to achieve robustness.

ALPHA technology reliably provides anatomical context and has been used to enrich applications on the AIDAN platform.

Artificial intelligence powered applications for Biograph PET/CT scanners

The AIDAN platform unlocks a host of advanced upgradable features:
 

Aidan flow motion - future of nuclear medicine

FlowMotion™ AI standardizes protocols and personalizes scans through a dedicated AI algorithm that automatically defines ranges based on each patient’s unique anatomy.

Aidan oncofreeze - future of nuclear medicine

With the click of a button, OncoFreeze™ AI delivers images free of motion without extended scan time or external devices. 

Aidan FAST PET workflow AI - future of nuclear medicine

FAST PET Workflow AI automates and simplifies image preparation and archiving. 

Aidan Multiparametric PET Suite AI - future of nuclear medicine

Multiparametric PET Suite AI is the first fully integrated solution to provide additional parameters and enable absolute quantification compared to SUV alone.

The Biograph family of PET/CT scanners is enhanced with intelligent solutions that heighten the patient and user experience, optimize department workflow, and help improve clinical outcomes.

AIDAN is not commercially available in all countries. Its future availability cannot be guaranteed. Please contact your local Siemens Healthineers organization for further details.
