Product Description:

The Siemens Biograph TruePoint 40 PET/CT is a very high-powered, flexible medical imaging scanner.  This system allows you to select from various CT configurations, resolutions, and clinical configuration options.  It optimizes clinical throughput and increases sensitivity and resolution with LSO-based detectors.  Routine 10-minute PET exams, an increase count rate performance by 70%, and higher resolution are all provided by the Siemens Biograph TruePoint 40 PET/CT.

Benefits:

• Higher resolution throughout the field of view with HD•PET
• Biograph™ TruePoint™ completely integrates the functional sensitivity of PET with the rich anatomical detail of diagnostic multislice CT. Exclusive technologies, such as HD•PET, TrueV, HI-REZ, LSO, Pico-3D, TrueC and SureView, offer superb image quality for improved diagnostic confidence. With Biograph TruePoint you can be more confident in your ability to detect changes in metabolic activity before anatomical changes become visible.
• Largest PET field of view in the industry, increasing count rate performance by >70%
• It is time to think big. Biograph TruePoint with TrueV increases the PET field of view by an eye-opening 33 percent in the axial dimension. TrueV is proven to increase count rate performance by greater than 70 percent, giving you the flexibility to lower dose rates or scan times by 50 percent. It provides you with the most functional information possible per PET bed positions and reveals clear, breathtaking PET images.
• Routine 10-minute PET exams
• Biograph TruePoint is built on the most popular CT platform in the world, the SOMATOM® Emotion.* The advanced CT capabilities of Biograph TruePoint enable increased diagnostic confidence and system utilization.

Features:

• 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 obese patients
• Low dose examinations for pediatric patients
