Siemens Biograph mCT 20 PET/CT

The Siemens Biograph mCT 20 PET/CT scanner is a 20-slice, 78 cm bore hybrid imaging system featuring 4×4×20 mm LSO crystals, 540 ps timing resolution (Time of Flight), and 500 lb (227 kg) table capacity. It delivers high-resolution, fast, and quantitative PET imaging integrated with a 20-slice CT, with options for SAFIRE iterative reconstruction and iMAR metal artifact reduction. The system uses LSO crystal detectors to provide superior image quality and TOF technology, aiding in high-speed, low-dose, and accurate quantitative PET imaging.
