Philips Gemini TF Pet/CT Scanner
Gemini TF PET/CT (Philips Medical Systems) is the new high-performance, which is time-of-flight (TOF) capable; it is fully 3-dimensional (3D) PET scanner along with a 16-slice Brilliance of CT scanner. With its proper evaluation and performance of the machine and research studies, this machine is now routinely used for many clinical studies.
Strength
- This PET/CT scanner machine uses a small, discrete lutetium-yttrium oxyorthosilicate ([LYSO], along with Lu-to-Yt ratio of 9:1) of crystals placed in an Anger-logic detector design to also achieve with uniform light spread in this detector.
- It has fast timing properties, with high light output, with high stopping power of the LYSO leads to a high-sensitivity scanner which has a good counting rate and capability with very good spatial, energy, and the timing resolutions.
- It has a precise TOF measurement for coincident photons from each of the annihilation event.
- The GEMINI TF system design: It has a Patented OpenView Gantry Design which further improves the patient experience, especially for any claustrophobic and the pediatric.
- It has an Industry leading with 190 cm scan length for both the PET/CT allows for true whole body and imaging for patients in one scan itself.
- It has Premium Brilliance with CT performance with either 16-slice or the 64-channel CT configurations.
Use
- This PET/CT scan is considered to be noninvasive, is painless and also takes 30 minutes. Along with this, it provides better imaging data, it notably increases patient comfort.
- It provides a detailed imaging of organs and tissues, and doctors help in investigating more about cancer.
