Siemens Biograph mCT Flow Edge PET/CT Scanner

Product Description: The Siemens Biograph mCT Flow Edge is a state-of-the-art hybrid imaging system that revolutionized PET/CT with its groundbreaking FlowMotion technology. Unlike conventional step-and-shoot scanning, FlowMotion allows the patient table to move continuously through the gantry, providing a smooth and comfortable scan from head to toe in a single pass. This continuous motion eliminates the gaps and overlaps of traditional scanning, leading to uncompromised image quality and faster, more efficient exams. The system is built around a powerful CT scanner (up to 40 slices) with a large 78 cm bore and is equipped with CARE Dose4D and SAFIRE technologies to minimize radiation dose. The PET component features Time-of-Flight (TOF) imaging with high-resolution LSO crystal detectors for superior image clarity, especially in oncology, neurology, and cardiology.

Key Features:

• Hybrid Technology: Integrates a multi-slice CT with a Time-of-Flight (TOF) PET system.
• FlowMotion: Continuous table motion for a seamless and faster scanning experience.
• Wide Bore: 78 cm gantry aperture with a short tunnel for enhanced patient comfort.
