High-resolution PET/CT system

Health Management Technology, April, 2004

The high-speed, high-resolution LSO HI-REZ PET/ CT scanner system utilizes enhanced spatial resolution to improve early detection of cancer, heart disease, neurological disorders and lesions as small as 2 mm. By merging a patient's biological information from a PET scan with the anatomic imaging provided by a CT scan into a combined image containing both metabolic function and anatomic structure, it enables doctors to more accurately identify the precise location of potential abnormalities. Ultrafast LSO scintillation and PICO electronics provide twice as much numerical electromagnetic code compared to standard PET/ CT systems, and faster scanning means greater patient comfort and less motion for better lesion detection.
