Philips adds Gemini enhancements

Mar 17, 2005

Philips Medical Systems is showing off new upgrades for its Gemini PET/CT systems at the Academy of Molecular Imaging (AMI) annual conference in Orlando, FL.

The enhancements are designed to improve patient throughput, improve ease of use, and expand the range of the system's imaging procedures, according to the Andover, MA-based vendor. Philips has added a new cardiac review and analysis package, list-mode acquisition and data management tools, and gated acquisition for cardiac and respiratory applications and research, according to the firm.

The vendor said it has also incorporated new DICOM connectivity features and 3D RAMLA PET reconstruction techniques. The upgrades are available now on the Gemini 16 Power scanner, and will be available on the Gemini Dual system later this year.
