June 10, 2011 — This year at the SNM 2011 Annual Meeting, Philips Electronics is announcing TruFlight Select, the first economical PET/CT system equipped with time-of-flight (TOF) technology. Although the TruFlight Select PET/CT is designed to serve the needs of facilities with budget constraints, the system is equipped with Philips’ premium TOF technology, Astonish TF. Astonish TF is the same TOF technology driving Philips’ new high-end Ingenuity TF PET/CT and PET/MR systems, introduced at RSNA 2010. Astonish TF is now being standardized across the Philips PET portfolio, and Philips is offering our current TOF customers a performance upgrade to the latest version of Astonish TF.

June 7, 2011 – At SNM 2011, Siemens Healthcare demonstrated how users of the Symbia S and Symbia T series, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and SPECT•CT systems, respectively, are taking advantage of IQ•SPECT, to dramatically reduce the length of imaging protocols. A field-upgradeable combination of hardware and software, IQ•SPECT is helping nuclear cardiologists cut the cardiac imaging protocol from approximately 20 minutes to less than five minutes. These shortened exams enable a sustainable approach to nuclear cardiology that potentially enables decreased radiation dose to patients, assists to make the procedure more tolerable for the elderly, provides high quality diagnostic information, and allows users to better utilize an imaging resource that is hampered by limited availability of the key radiotracer.
