Siemens Biograph TruePoint 40 PET/CT

227 kg (500 lb) bed limit
With wide pallet helps accommodate bariatric patients.
STRATON X-ray tube
Provides fast 0.33 s CT rotation speed and high resolution.
Unparalleled 0 MHU STRATON X-ray tube
Has caused a paradigm shift in CT imaging.
The tube’s direct anode cooling eliminates the need for heat storage,
permitting a compact design and the fastest CT gantry rotation for all applications.
LSO crystals and HI-REZ detectors
Offer industry-leading PET performance.
TrueV
Extends the PET field of view (FOV) by 33% and increases NEMA count rate by >70%.
HD·PET
Offers uniformity, high- resolution, and 2x better contrast over conventional PET.
z-Sharp
Provides .33 mm resolution at any scan and rotation speed and at any position.
Sureview
A patented solution for multislice CT scanning, provides exceptional image quality
at any pitch setting.
HD Uniformity
Images are distortion-free throughout the entire field of view, from center to edges,
enabling more accurate visualization of fine detail no matter where you look.
HD Resolution
HD•PET offers 2 mm uniform resolution across the entire field of view
for enhanced detectability and the highest level of detail.
HD Contrast
With an unprecedented 2x improvement in signal to noise ratio,
HD•PET reveals sharper images, as well as greater distinctness within the image.
HD Clarity
Greater specificity and accuracy deliver crystal-clear results
for more confident diagnosis, and earlier, more targeted treatment.
Pico-3D
Ultra-fast detector electronics significantly improve count rate performance,
image quality, signal to noise ratio, lesion detectability,
and patient scanning flexibility.
LSO
State-of-the-art crystal technology.
TrueV
More than a 70% higher noise effective count rate (NECR) for better image quality
2x faster PET•CT for faster imaging
Half the injected dose

CARE Dose4D Benefits:
Up to 66 percent dose reduction while maintaining the same image quality
as compared to clinical protocols not employing CARE Dose4D
Enhancement of the image quality and reduction of artifacts for scanning
of asymmetric body regions, such as the shoulders or scans of the patient
with arms alongside the body
Lower power consumption and reduced heat load
Longer spiral ranges and more flexibility for multiphase examinations, especially for patients
Low dose examinations for pediatric patients
