Philips GEMINI TF PET/CT withTruFlight technology

TruFlight has arrived Time-of-ight technology has always held the promise of better PET imaging. But it took Philips to harness its potential, making it work in ways that make sense for you and the way you work. By capturing the time difference between coincident photon detection, Philips TruFlight technology acquires and processes data in a totally different way than conventional scanners. It helps you see more than ever for more types of patients. Philips GEMINI TF with TruFlight technology. It’s changing the way you see PET/CT. It’s changing the way you see your patients. And it’s...

Philips TruFlight: The solution to better PET imaging In conventional PET imaging, it’s possible only to TruFlight technology uses the actual know that a coincident event has taken place on time difference between the detection of the line of response, but not the actual location coincident events to more accurately identify the origin of the annihilation. Better identication leads to a quantiable improvement in image quality. Without time-of-ight imaging With time-of-ight imaging Time-of-ight technology improves PET image quality and reduces noise.
