GEMINI GXL 16 SLICE PET CT Scanner

The Philips GEMINI GXL 16 is an open PET/CT system designed to provide increased comfort for claustrophobic and pediatric patients, as well as patients who have a difficult time lying still.You can take advantage of flexibility across diagnostic and treatment planning applications. Easy access to the patient also enhances the ability to perform interventional procedures.

Philips GEMINI GXL 16 Slice gives you the following benefits:

Photon detection: Advances in the GSO crystal enable detection efficiencies for demanding applications, today and tomorrow.

Signal processing: New electronics significantly improve count rate performance. These improvements enable enhanced performance for today’s radioisotopes plus provide broad acceptability for the higher specific activities inherent in radioisotopes used in emerging applications.

Reconstruction: LOR reconstruction creates a robust platform for optimizing image quality by utilizing a complete representation of the PET image data set. Eliminating the sub-sampling required in conventional techniques, LOR removes averaging and consequent image degradation.
