Biograph PET/CT family for radiation therapy planning

Biograph family for radiation therapy planningSet the standard in PET/CT for RT

The entire Biograph™ PET/CT family supports dedicated solutions for radiation therapy (RT) planning and gives you access to intelligent imaging applications powered by artificial intelligence, driving the right planning for the right treatment.

Features & Benefits

Set the standard in PET/CT for RT

Our Biograph family offers RT editions that deliver dedicated tools for precise planning with dose optimization and time savings. Additionally, Biograph mCT Sim edition and Biograph Vision™ RT Pro edition feature a large bore (78 cm) to ensure patient comfort and better positioning reproducibility.

artificial intelligence application in nuclear medicine - AIDAN Intelligent imaging platform for PET CT scan machiness.

Intelligent imaging with AIDAN

Enabled by AIDAN, the Biograph family uses intelligent imaging applications to transform complex procedures and make standardized protocols and personalized scans possible.

Learn more about AIDAN

Clinical decision making

Molecular imaging can help answer clinical questions that might not be answered using anatomical imaging alone. PET/CT provides a combination of metabolic and morphological information, which has a major impact on evaluation and therapy planning of primary and recurrent tumors.

The Biograph family with RT edition offers an integrated workflow, enabled by syngo.via®³, that supports clinical decisions along with a multi-modality tool for deformable registration, dose visualization, beam placement, and more.

FlowMotion enables targeted respiratory gating for improved SBRT planning in a patient with lung cancer

Malignant lung nodule sharply defined with ultraHD•PET with high lesion contrast allows target planning for sterotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for delivering high radiation doses in just a few fractions for enhanced local control and lower toxicity
Incorporation of respiratory gating and HD•Chest into FlowMotion™ continuous-bed-motion acquisition enables definition of lesion motion for appropriate target definition
