HD•PET
Siemens has redefined the quality of molecular imaging with the introduction of high-definition positron emission tomography. HD•PET is the world’s first and only high-definition PET technology to offer consistently sharper and clearly defined images across the entire field of view. The clarity achieved by HD•PET is the result of a unique and proprietary technology that optimizes the elements of image uniformity, resolution and contrast – that together change the whole picture. Historically with PET imaging, intrinsic image quality has been known to degrade with increasing distance from the center of the detector. HD•PET eliminates this effect, thus providing increased diagnostic confidence to more accurately resolve peripheral lesions. This, in turn, could potentially improve diagnosis and staging of disease and hence clinical outcomes. The improved 2-mm resolution enables physicians to clearly visualize the smallest of lesions from the center to the edges of the field of view.

syngo TrueD
This gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) image series was acquired on the Biograph 16. The 18F-FDG PET•CT (positron emission tomography and computed tomography) study shows sequential three-time point studies demonstrating response of the primary tumor to Gleevec (Imatinib, Novartis) therapy but with appearance of fresh liver lesion. The initial study in March 2007 shows an FDG-avid primary gastric lesion without metastases. The second study in May 2007 shows slight increase in the size of the gastric lesion but with appearance of early liver lesion. Gleevec therapy was started in May 2007. A follow-up scan in September 2007 shows significant decrease in uptake of gastric lesion but the liver lesion appears to have increased in size and uptake.
