Biograph mCTClearly going beyond
Today, value-based healthcare is growing, and small details can lead to significant value for patients, caregivers, and enterprises. A truly hybrid PET/CT system, Biograph™ mCT supports high levels of productivity and has the flexibility to accommodate all patients1 and procedures—enhancing your ability to offer better care. Biograph mCT’s digital detectors leverage small 4 x 4-mm LSO crystal elements to deliver high-resolution images. In addition, true time of flight (TOF) provides improved contrast definition, allowing for the delineation of small lesions and precise anatomical detail. Biograph mCT’s 78-cm bore size combined with AIDAN, our intelligent imaging platform for PET/CT, lets you deliver an enhanced patient and user experience for faster and more reproducible workflows—giving you more time to focus on better care for your patients.

Case 1
PET resting perfusion and viability study in a patient with a BMI above 40
- Resting perfusion shows a large anteroseptal defect, which shows normal FDG uptake, suggesting it is severely ischemic but viable myocardium
- High contrast of left ventricular myocardium achieved on Biograph mCT leads to sharp definition of ventricular walls and ischemic segments in an obese patient
