made-for-the-future CT.

It’s the new frontier in integrated imaging.

Welcome to the world of mCT.

I want my mCT.

must-have CT.You’re going to want your own mCT if:

You can’t tell, by looking at your CT images, whether thetiny abdominal lesions are benign or hypermetabolic.

You have problems scanning claustrophobic or bariatricpatients because the bore of your CT scanner is too smalland its bed can’t handle extreme weight.

You imagine the benefits of getting more diagnosticinformation from two powerful modalities, in one compactsystem, in one room, with one team of operators.

The future of imaging is here. Biograph mCT — the world’s first

molecular CT. Through a perfect integration of the most advanced

HD·PET platform and the world’s first Adaptive Spiral CT, Siemens

has created a next generation dual modality device for a new

level of integrated imaging. It offers whole-body PET·CT scanning

in 5 minutes and the flexibility of day-in, day-out CT scanning.

The result is exceptional diagnostic performance in imaging.

Unequalled efficiency to work in a true shared-services capacity.

And unequalled patient care and comfort through a unique

design that combines a short tunnel, a large bore, and a very

compact footprint.

Biograph mCT. It’s what your next CT should be.

With its wide coverageand fast rotation speed,

the Biograph mCTprovides an excellent

display of the entirethorax, including small

peripheral lung lesions.

Adaptive 4D Spiral on theBiograph mCT enables wholeorgan perfusion studies,such as a complete strokeassessment of the entire brain.

With Biograph mCT,bariatric image quality is

excellent as in this case ofNon-Hodgkin lymphomademonstrating enlarged

retroperitoneal lymphnodes and a lump in the

right groin (left).

Biograph mCT offerssharp delineation of the

smallest structures(i.e. Incus) with the

industry’s highest isotropicresolution of 0.24 mm.

With excellent powerreserves and resolution,Biograph mCT providesthe finest visualization

of the smallest abdominalvessels in an obese patient

with a BMI over 50.

Unequalled CT capabilities in anintegrated system.

Biograph mCT brings a new dimensionto CT imaging: molecular. It gives youthe option of using a high resolution CTin conjunction with high definition PETimaging or as a standalone CT. You choose.Depending on the case, you can turn onmolecular contrast for additional metabolicinformation or leave it off for routineCT scans.

As a dedicated CT, Biograph mCT offersthe very best. Its high isotropic resolution,combined with its ultra-fast rotation time,brings out the finest anatomical detailsin every scan — routine and advanced —virtually eliminating motion artifacts.

Available in detector configurations ofup to 128 slices, it offers the possibilityof entire-body CT scans in just 10 seconds.Its powerful CT generator, with 100 kWpower reserves, lets you scan challengingbariatric patients, without increasingdosage. In fact, Biograph mCT’s uniqueAdaptive Dose Shield works to optimizedosage for every individual case,eliminating clinically irrelevant radiation.

With Biograph mCT, you get scanningtechnology that’s fully adaptable. It adaptsto virtually all patients; it adapts to meetvarious clinical needs; it adapts for maximumdose protection; and it adapts to your space.

No other CT can quite match Biograph mCT’sunique diagnostic abilities and versatility.It’s a premium CT that provides molecularcontrast and the only CT that can do routinewhole-body PET·CT scans in 5 minutes. Useit for all your CT needs and for PET whenyou need it.

We developed Biograph mCT to work asa true dual-modality scanner. So you canenhance your high-resolution CT images,when required, with molecular contrastfor even greater diagnostic certainty.

Biograph mCT offers you PET capabilitiessecond to none. Built upon proven Siemenstechnologies such as LSO, TrueV, andHD·PET, it lets you do routine whole-bodyPET·CT scans in only 5 minutes. And itsultraHD·PET technology easily outperformsconventional PET·CT scanners, deliveringhighly detailed images with up to 4 timesas much contrast.

It offers 2 mm uniform resolutionthroughout the field of view (FOV). Andwith the TrueV extended field of viewpackage, you can double Biograph mCT’sPET count rate to reduce acquisition timeor injected dose by 50%.

Biograph mCT provides a comprehensivesolution for radiation therapy planning.It gives you integrated PET and CT gating,excellent tumor delineation, a large 78 cmbore for RTP devices, and full DICOM RTconnectivity with all major RTP vendors.

Biograph mCT puts more control in yourhands and more information in front ofyour trained eyes.

It equips you to make the most confidentand informed diagnoses. Biograph mCT’srazor-sharp, distortion-free PET capabilitiesand outstanding CT resolution combine togive you the best images in both modes —PET and CT.

more-patient-comfort CT.

Unequalled design for greater patientcare and comfort.

Conventional PET·CT systems — with narrowbores and long tunnels — aren’t ideallydesigned for patient comfort, causingclaustrophobia in many patients. Siemensrecognized these issues and addressed thesechallenges by pioneering the developmentof a large-bore PET·CT scanner.

Biograph mCT is designed to accommodateall kinds of patients — including pediatricand bariatric. Comfortably and easily. Itsoversized 78 cm bore and short tunnelcreate a large, open scanning zone, helping

to alleviate the sense of claustrophobia.The large bore allows better positioningof RTP devices such as breast boardsand makes scanning of bariatric patientseasier. In addition, Biograph mCT’s sturdy,extra-wide 228 kg (500 lb) capacity bedprovides comfortable support for bothobese and standard patients during scans.The unique bed virtually eliminates CTand PET registration artifacts — oftena concern in bariatric imaging.

Taking comfort a step further, BiographmCT addresses two of the foremostconcerns related to scanning: scan timeand radiation dose. Biograph mCT’sAdaptive Dose Shield protects the patientfrom unnecessary pre- and post-spiralradiation, conserving 20% dosage inroutine CT exams.With its ultra-low dosecapability and super-fast PET acquisitiontime, Biograph mCT gives you everythingyou need. So scanning can be less stressfulfor you and your patients.

Unequalled efficiency to work in a trueshared-services capacity.

No other CT promises as much returnon investment as Biograph mCT. Its abilityto do whole-body PET·CT scans in only5 minutes enables it to be used in a trueshared-services capacity. You can use itas a hardworking standalone CT or as ahigh-definition PET·CT. It gives you moreoptions and more diagnostic power thanany other CT.

With Biograph mCT, you can transforma single room into a fast, dual-modalityscanning facility. Imagine offeringadvanced CT and PET imaging withone room; one team; one integratedsystem; one schedule; and if required,one comprehensive exam. You can saveprecious space, time, and cost — thatwould be required to implement suchhigh-end systems separately — whilemaximizing dual-modality utilization.

And it is scalable and upgradeable.So your investment can keep providingreturns and referrals well into the future.

We also backup Biograph mCT’sperformance with our proven SiemensRemote Service (SRS), a proactive remotemonitoring service that lets us detectand fix problems remotely. For example,our proactive solution can predict CTtube failure in advance. Sensors remotelymonitor tube functions via real-time dataflow with SRS and can detect deviationsbefore problems occur. With SRS, we canexpedite on-site repairs and keep yourBiograph mCT performing in peak conditionat all times. So you can get the highestuptime for unequalled throughput.
