Choices in patient care Today’s patients are living longer. Obesity is on the rise. There’s a whole new world of fast-changing technologies and services, enabling early, confident diagnosis that can lead to effective treatment and restore healthy living. At the same time, treatments are growing in complexity and introduced to clinical routines more quickly. Patients have always been at the heart of care. As their needs change, are you adapting the ways in which you deliver that care? It may feel as though you need to compromise on virtually every front. By prioritizing throughput, for instance,...

Not ready for a trade-off? Then you’re ready for the Ingenuity TF PET/CT. It enhances diagnostic confidence by giving you the tools to perform superb exams, work quickly and efficiently, and provide the quantitative information that helps the care team manage the disease. Be prepared for tomorrow’s challenges today with support for a variety of clinical specialties and workflows. Drive clinical performance Deliver economic value Enhance the patient experience We liked what we saw with Philips. I didn’t even need to ask about key issues such as dose management. They took the lead in discussing...

Clinical excellence excellent To know what matters, you need to see what matters. Take advantage of rich clinical insight and enhanced lesion detectability with Time-of-Flight (TOF) technology. Enhanced image contrast TOF offers an up to 30% increase in image contrast compared to nonTOF images. It uses all 3D line of responses and listmode TOF for true 3D performance. Patient information Male patient with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer undergoing FDG PET/CT for initial staging Height: 1.75 m Weight: 73 kg Case information PET 6.75 mCi (250 MBq) [18F]-FDG 75 sec/bed CT 100 kV, 52 average...

Consistently high image quality TOF has been demonstrated to improve sensitivity by up to five times in larger patients compared to non-TOF systems.

The way to confidence is clear Get a comprehensive view right away. Built-in protocols help produce exceptional images, boosting your confidence and helping you make clinically relevant decisions. Reduced artifacts iDose4 improves image quality through artifact prevention and increased spatial resolution. O-MAR reduces artifacts caused by large orthopedic implants. Together they produce high image quality with reduced artifacts. Images courtesy of Clinique du Diaconat Roosevelt, Mulhouse, France Our team is delighted with O-MAR. It reduces artifacts without any additional burden on our workflow,...

<< We have a rotation time designed to be fast, and that is absolutely key in cardiac imaging in moving organs. Through iDose4, we have every opportunity to improve image quality” Dr. Oliver Klass, MD Radiologist, cardiac surgeon, and Head of Cardiac Radiology and Cardiac Surgery, MediaPark Klinik, Cologne, Germany Case information Images courtesy of Porte Verte Hospital, Images courtesy of Porte Verte Hospital, Versailles, France The print quality of this copy is not an accurate representation of the original.

×Pand5 the power of quantitative imaging Referring physicians are counting on your expertise and images to create the best possible treatment plans. With enhanced quantification tools at your fingertips, you can expand your diagnostic confidence to care teams. The Ingenuity TF PET/CT leverages multiple technologies, collectively known as ×Pand5, that act together to enhance image quality and support quantification. ×Pand5 quantification tools: • ×Clean with Monte-Carlo-based single-scatter simulation (MC-SSS) correction • ×Sharp for image reconstructions with resolution recovery • ×Count for...

Why does quantification matter? Although qualitative assessment of images remains an important part of clinical practice, there is increasingly a demand from clinicians for quantitative information from PET scans. The most widely used measure is the semi-quantitative standardized uptake value (SUV), reflecting the relative tissue uptake of the injected radiolabeled tracer (typically [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose, FDG). While SUVs are typically normalized to body weight, they can also be normalized to body surface area or to lean body mass. Increasing confidence The fundamental reproducibility of SUVs...

×Clean Focus on what’s important with consistent image quality across different patient habitus. See what you need to see, artifact-free, on small or large patients. Scatter correction is integral to overall image quality and quantitative accuracy in PET. Scattered photons may account for more than 30% of total detected coincidence counts. ×Clean, a hybrid scatter correction method for reconstructing the PET image, helps the Ingenuity TF PET/CT deliver improved image quality by working to reduce artifacts. Why is a different approach necessary? The Single Scatter Simulation (SSS) method is widely...

×Sharp See true activity distribution - especially with small objects. Images acquired with the ×Sharp on the Ingenuity TF PET/ CT show lesions and organ boundaries with high contrast thanks to resolution recovery. Resolution compensation in reconstructed Ingenuity TF PET/ CT images is achieved by ×Sharp, which models and corrects for the effects of the scanner’s point spread function (PSF). This is based on the computationally efficient, iterative, RichardsonLucy maximum-likelihood algorithm to correct for partial volume effects in PET images.
