Siemens won FDA clearance for its Biograph Horizon Flow edition, a budget friendly positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanner that includes some advanced features of its more expensive cousin. The main selling point is that the new device includes*FlowMotion continuous bed motion scanning tech**logy, an offering that was previously introduced on Siemens Biograph mCT Flow PET/CT. A**ther advantage is*HD•Chest, a feature that prodcues motion-frozen chest scans much faster than traditional techniques.
According to Siemens, FlowMotion “differs from conventional step-and-shoot PET/CT scanning in that it enables personalized exam protocols based on patient anatomy.” Four different regions can be setup based on a patient’s anatomy, each resulting in a different bed speed, helping the radiology team standardize scans and perform common imaging exams quickly and reliably.
“With the addition of Biograph Horizon Flow Edition to the Siemens Healthineers PET/CT portfolio, customers tasked with reaching a certain price point ** longer need to make compromises in the PET/CT tech**logy they offer patients,” said Doug Darrow, Vice President of Molecular Imaging at Siemens Healthineers **rth America, in a statement. ‘The Biograph Horizon Flow Edition is the ideal PET/CT system **t only for progressive community hospitals but also for satellite campuses of large healthcare networks that are looking to provide the same premium continuous bed motion tech**logy as their flagship facilities.”
