Minimum Dose and Maximum Speed

Half the dose, twice the speed
Biograph mCT is meeting both of the core needs of improving patient safety and increasing productivity, at the same time, through our commitment: “Minimum Dose and Maximum Speed.” By reducing dose and increasing speed, costs are dramatically reduced, while increased utilization can also be achieved.
 

CARE
With CARE (Combined Applications to Reduce Exposure), Siemens has been highly successful in integrating many innovations into the Siemens scanners that significantly reduce radiation dose in comparison to other systems available on the market.
 

FAST
Utilizing FAST (Fully Assisting Scanner Technologies) innovations, typically time consuming and complex procedures during the scan process are extremely simplified and automated, not only improving workflow efficiency and scanner utilization, but also optimizing the overall clinical outcome by creating reproducible results, making diagnosis more reliable and reducing patient burden through streamlined examinations.

 

Your Return on Innovation
 

Clinical Return

  • Half the dose and the acquisition time while maintaining highest image quality
  • Minimum dose, especially to critical patients (children and patients with frequent follow-up exams)

Workflow Return

  • Whole-body PET scans in only 5 minutes
  • Lowest possible dose and high-speed workflow enabled by FAST CARE technologies

Financial Return

  • Reduce imaging radioisotope costs by reducing injected dose
  • Attract more referrals by increasing patient comfort with shorter exam times

 

Engineered Clinical Flexibility

Maximizing patients base
Siemens has engineered Biograph mCT for clinical flexibility and growth, with a large 78 cm bore, short tunnel and a 227 kg (500 lb) table capacity that improves patient comfort and accessibility. Additionally, with features such as a powerful 100 kW CT generator – which provides ample X-ray power reserves for high-quality imaging and HD FoV (field of view) which improves image quality beyond the standard CT diagnostic FoV, Siemens is making bariatric PET imaging more accurate with excellent image quality.
 

Maximize modality performance
Now customers can offer advanced CT and PET imaging with one room; one team; one integrated system; one schedule; and if required, one comprehensive exam. Such clinical flexibility saves precious space, time and cost while maximizing dual-modality utilization and enabling business growth.
 

Flexible scalability and upgradability
A scalable PET·CT platform is designed to grow as business and clinical needs change. Biograph mCT offers a variety of in-field upgrades, from increasing the number of CT slices up to 128 to expanding the PET field of view up to 21.6 cm. With such flexible scalability and upgradability Biograph mCT provides returns and referrals now and well into the future.
