Various Ways PET/CT Can Transform Clinical Care with new technology

Digital PET/CT using Vereos can spot the smallest lesion in a patient’s body. It is built with a digital detector to improve the sensitivity and detectability of small lesions while reducing the scan time. This hybrid imaging modality known as Vereos PET/CT from Philips Healthcare is used as a diagnostic and prognostic imaging tool by oncologists to assess the response of patients to therapy and even cancer recurrence. By digitalizing PET/CT, its medical value has increased tremendously. Here’s how the Vereos PET/CT can enhance clinical care : • Increased scan volume – The new imaging technique can enhance patient experience with excellent scan accuracy. The Vereos PET/CT has also increased the scan volume to 18 patients each day with whole-body scans taking 30 minutes. The high sensitivity of the digital detector and short scan times ensure quality images. • Improved detectability for small lesions – The Vereos PET/CT can detect the small lesions and their activity in the b
