A Vision Realized

Precision that changes perceptions
Dr. Mario Jreige and Martin Pappon walk the halls of CHUV as they discuss the day‘s patient scans.
When we got the image of the first patient, we were very excited. We could see lesions that were clearly outlined and also seemed fairly homogeneous, not patchy because of the different noise levels. It was a completely different kind of image.
Dr. Walter Noordzij, PhD, MD, University Medical Center Groningen

Advanced technology enables precision
Martin Pappon and Dr. Silvano Gnesin discuss recently acquired images on CHUV‘s Biograph Vision.

The clinical impacts of precision
Dr. Walter Noordzij and team member examine Biograph Vision’s image quality at UMCG.
Biograph Vision is extremely sensitive with a high resolution. We can see where the tracer binds to the tumor and the volume and distribution much more accurately. All of those things can play a key role in steering the patient’s therapy.
Prof. Ronald Borra, PhD, MD, University Medical Center Groningen

Addressing operational efficiency
Technologist Martin Pappon positions a patient for a scan on CHUV‘s Biograph Vision.
We have to understand what our high-resolution images mean. What is real disease? Does it play a role? I think having a great tool certainly allows for the best possible way to measure disease, but it has to be followed by some kind of decision from a clinician.
Prof. Niklaus Schaefer, MD, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois

What’s next?
Dr. Mario Jreige and Martin Pappon study Biograph Vision‘s next-generation imaging capabilities.
