HD•PET is a clinical reality throughout the world. With more than 50 installations, HD•PET truly has changed the whole picture.
“Our Biograph™ 64 has enabled our hospital to image 49 patients in a single day, and our monthly record is 764 patients. HD•PET and TrueV technology has further shortened our whole body PET•CT scan times, without increasing the reconstruction times. On standard weight patients, the lesion detectability seems comparable between HD•PET images with TrueV acquired at only 1 min per bed versus the Biograph 16 acquired at 2.5 min per bed.”
Xu Zhensheng, MD Huashan Hospital PET Center, Fudan University, Shanghai, China
“Our HD•PET studies are a major improvement in study quality; they are clearer, provide better delineation and detection of small foci of disease; they offer improved confidence in diagnosis and diagnostic accuracy, which improves patient care.”

“The uniform resolution provided by HD•PET has been a significant step in improving PET image quality.”

“My HD•PET images are sharper and have less noise. This technology seems to make lesions stand-out noticeably better.”
Hejung Press, M.B.A., M.D, VISTA Radiology, Knoxville, TN, USA
“Our HD•PET images are ready in about 2 minutes after the last bed position.”
Karen M Woten, Manager, Thompson Cancer Survival Center PET Imaging, Knoxville, TN, USA
“The HD•PET images are sharp and crisp. This leads to easier interpretation with a higher level of confidence. Also, the HD has added another dimension to CT where the activity of small lesions can be assessed.”
