Siemens Biograph 64 PET/CT

The Siemens Biograph 64 PET/CT is an innovative hybrid system
that combines Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
with the fastest Computed Tomography by Siemens,
the 64 slice CT system Somatom 64.
This scanner offers a wide range of customized performance options
to enhance image resolution and quality, improve patient satisfaction
as well as throughput.
With a compact footprint, low system weight, 64 slices, each as thin as a credit card,
the Biograph 64 can be used to study and evaluate all parts of a patient’s body.
The short acquisition times of the Biograph 64 enable motion-free,
detailed images of the heart. By combining both modalities into one step,
the system is especially suitable for cardiovascular applications.
