Based on Siemens’ leading-edge technology, Inveon
delivers the highest performance PET available
today. Our leadership in LSO detector materials,
advanced detector technology, state-of-the-art
acquisition systems, and advanced attenuation
correction provide increased count rate performance
as well as enhanced resolution and sensitivity for
excellent image quality and quantitative accuracy.
High Count Rate Performance
Inveon technology utilizes an asynchronous
coincidence processing architecture which virtually
eliminates electronic dead time and substantially
improves count rate performance and peak NEC.
Unmatched Sensitivity
Siemens detectors provide high sensitivity through
a combination of dense, 10 mm thick LSO crystals
and very thin inter-pixel reflector layers as well
as through careful design of the detector ring
geometry. Absolute sensitivity in the center of the
FOV is greater than 10%.
Finest Resolution
Combining the high light output of LSO with
1.6 mm x 1.6 mm detector pixel spacing, the Inveon
delivers less than 1.4 mm FWHM spatial resolution
in images reconstructed using the filtered back
projection algorithm. Higher reconstructed image
resolution can be achieved with Siemens’ suite of
iterative reconstruction algorithms.
Large FOV
New detector design provides an axial FOV of
12.7 cm. In addition, continuous bed motion
effectively extends the axial FOV to 50 cm, providing
temporal data over the entire axial FOV and offering
better image quality due to the oversampling of each
projection.
Dockability
The versatility of the Inveon platform can be
extended by docking the dedicated PET system to
the multimodality system. In docked mode, the two
scanners can operate independently or as a single
multimodality system under the control of a single
workstation. The design offers leading-edge
performance today with room for multimodal field
upgrades as your needs grow.
