Focus on what's best for your patient and investigation

With ×Count, you can take advantage of quantification even on investigations that involve dynamic, short-lived tracers.

Supporting stability across count rates

The Ingenuity TF PET/CT uses high-throughput acquisition hardware that expands its count-rate capabilities, with improved linearity at high count rates. Thanks to ×Count, the system is stable across count rates (low to high), so you can perform dynamic imaging with a wide range of tracers including (82Rb) Rubidium chloride.

The TOF technology available on the Ingenuity TF PET/CT provides improved signal-to-noise ratio in the reconstructed images in addition to better count rate performance and better randoms rejection over non-TOF PET.

activity concentration

Results:

NEMU NU peak true countrate: 365 kcps at 35 kBq/mL
Range of activity at which the NECR was above 90% of its peak value spanned 368 MBq (from 241 to 609 MBq)

Conclusion:

System performance is suitable for application in high-count-rate PET application

This system helps us work with a variety of tracers in a cost-effective way. A lot of my brain studies use [18F]-FDG, but other radiopharmaceuticals can shed light on different neurological conditions.”
