Detailed anatomical and functional information – with CT and Molecular Imaging

Scanning for possible metastatic disease throughout the body plays an essential role in follow-up examinations as well. Combining our latest CT scanner SOMATOM Definition AS with syngo CT Oncology, physicians benefit from unparalleled image quality that depicts even the smallest anatomical abnormality. syngo CT Oncology makes follow-up examinations easier and more reliable. Findings in the base line examination can be propagated into the follow-up exam with one click. syngo CT Oncology automatically segments tumors and calculates the change in tumor volume. The automatic segmentation and propagation make results more independent from the individual reader.

Additional functional information can be obtained with our FDG PET•CT scanning, which helps detect even most subtle local tumor recurrences and distant metastases. And recurring skeletal metastases can be detected and their progress sequentially evaluated using SPECT and SPECT•CT. Thus, our molecular imaging tools help clearly identify any recurrences as early as possible – with only one exam.
