Philips GEMINI TF Big Bore PET/CT Tomograph

Filed under: Nuclear Medicine , Radiology

Philips is introducing a larger bore model of its new GEMINI TF positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) system, that we have reported on earlier.

With a full 85 cm bore for PET and CT scans, the new system allows for positioning flexibility and has a rigid table design to meet the accuracy requirements for treatment planning. The GEMINI TF Big Bore allows clinicians to image patients in the same position they are treated, expanding PET/CT capabilities beyond diagnosis, staging and follow-up to include therapy planning. The system combines Philips' GEMINI TF time-of-flight PET imaging technologies with its Brilliance Big Bore CT localization to consolidate radiation oncology procedures, increase potential for greater accuracy and improve scheduling. It is the first system that offers tools and protocols to easily integrate PET functional images into radiation oncology, helping to consolidate procedures while maintaining premium image quality.
