• The highest resolution in the market: 4 mm compared to 5-7 mm in other systems. PET resolution is measured in volumes; 3 therefore, a gain from 5 mm to 4 mm (4x4x4=64 mm with 3 5x5x5=125 mm ), doubles the resolution and improves image quality. • The fastest technology available: LSO detectors and Pico technology allow for faster scanning time and lower doses of radiopharmaceuticals. Scans can be performed in as fast as 6 minutes.
