AI in Molecular ImagingAI-powered algorithms to drive MI further.

Robust AI-powered algorithms can be used to drive clinically relevant and actionable information in a way that is quantitative, accurate, reproducible, and outcome-oriented clinical decision-making. Additionally, AI-powered algorithms may increase standardization that provides efficient automation and more operator-independent actions. Thanks to already implemented innovative and forward-thinking technologies and the now available increased computing power, we can bring practical AI implementations to both scanners and reading solutions.

AI scanner features

Molecular imaging PET/CT scanner Biograph Vision.

AI-powered algorithms are integrated seamlessly on our Biograph™ PET/CT scanners with AIDAN1, our intelligent imaging solution. Several AI-powered features are available, such as
