Benefits
Biograph Vision’s groundbreaking technological performance redefines the limits of imaging. Featuring 3.2-mm lutetium oxyorthosilicate (LSO) crystals that are 100% covered by SiPMs2, Biograph Vision’s Optiso Ultra Dynamic Range (UDR) detector technology delivers high 48-mm3 volumetric resolution2 and 214-ps true time-of-flight (TOF) performance.3 Biograph Vision leverages the full potential of SiPM technology to reveal the bigger picture for accurate and confident decision-making.
Unlock more clinical and research capabilities with Biograph Vision’s state-of-the-art detectability. Biograph Vision provides high image resolution and sensitivity for precise quantification that can positively impact health outcomes. Ultra Dynamic Range (UDR) provides outstanding performance for a wide spectrum of count rates, enabling a broad variety of radiotracers at optimal doses.
Biograph Vision empowers users to reduce scan time and injected dose to boost productivity, avoid unnecessary exposure, and increase patient comfort with the market’s highest effective sensitivity3 at 100 cps/kBq. Enhance patient and user experience with intelligent imaging capabilities that drive greater throughput while providing more consistent and accurate results. No matter the user, the patient,5 or the procedure, Biograph Vision delivers exceptional outcomes.

Case 1
Normal brain metabolism in a subject with suspected multi-system atrophy
Normal brain study with sharp delineation of functioning cortex and increased contrast between cortex and white matter.
Clinical detail
A 67-year-old male with progressive muscular stiffness, difficulty in swallowing, and autonomic dysfunctions with no response to levodopa therapy; undergoing evaluation for striatal multi-system atrophy. A Fludeoxyglucose F 18 Injection.[a] (18F FDG) PET/CT scan of the brain was performed on Biograph Vision. The study shows normal uptake in brain with 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.

Biograph Vision.X
Biograph Vision.X PET/CT with exclusive, high-performance detector technology
Featured at Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) 2023 annual meeting in Chicago, IL, USA, the new Biograph Vision.X™1 PET/CT builds on the proven performance of Biograph Vision and delivers an increased time of flight (TOF) of 178 ps—the industry’s fastest TOF.4
Biograph Vision.X builds on the proven performance of Biograph Vision and delivers:
- time of flight (TOF) performance of 178 picoseconds (ps)—the industry’s fastest TOF4
- outstanding performance gain up to 20%,5 which in turn can translate to faster scans as well as lower injected dose and radiotracer costs
- In-field upgradeability
"The Biograph Vision.X PET/CT scanner builds on the strong foundation of our Biograph Vision system and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to being the industry leader in time of flight for improved lesion detection and increased anatomical detail."
