Healthcare providers are finding ways to reshape care pathways while driving down long-term asset costs. Biograph™ Horizon PET/CT helps you offset these expenses, expands your clinical capabilities, and simplifies your operations. Biograph Horizon’s digital detectors leverage small 4 x 4-mm LSO crystal elements to deliver high-resolution images and provide true time of flight (TOF) to improve lesion detectability and anatomical detail. With AIDAN, our intelligent imaging platform for PET/CT, Biograph Horizon better supports clinical routines with an enhanced patient and user experience and a fast, reproducible workflow—letting you bring a higher standard of care to more patients.
Benefits
Biograph Horizon gives you PET/CT imaging with high 78-mm3 volumetric resolution1 due to the small 4 x 4-mm LSO crystal elements, and the ability to offer true time of flight (TOF) for performance and clinical advantages. Dedicated CT solutions, previously available only on stand-alone systems, provide high-quality imaging at lower doses.
Address a broader range of oncology, neurology, and cardiac indications using all commercially available PET tracers and unique features that elevate image quality, standardization, and clinical insights. From fast, low-dose PET/CT imaging to whole-body dynamic studies, Biograph Horizon is designed to support your clinical needs and research interests. Plus, the opportunity to incorporate advanced CT technology allows you to expand your diagnostic capabilities.
Better support clinical routines with an enhanced patient and user experience. Achieve enhanced results with the flexibility for higher throughput while delivering personalized care. Biograph Horizon offers intuitive imaging solutions powered by artificial intelligence for a fast and reproducible workflow.

Case 1
Distinction of gyri and sulci due to excellent spatial resolution afforded by 4-mm crystal size.
4-mm crystal size illustrates good separation of gyri and sulci. Decreased crystal size also results in detailed contrast between white and gray matter.
