Imaging and analysis of cardiovascular disease

PET/CT is creating a new benchmark in imaging and analysis of cardiovascular disease.  


PET/CT enables the combination of PET myocardial perfusion and viability imaging with CT coronary angiography and calcium scoring in a single integrated environment. 


Philips GEMINI PET/CT scanners combine the Brilliance CT technology, that is well-suited to cardiac imaging with its wide-coverage submillimeter imaging, ultra fast acquisition times and Rate Responsive image acquisition technology that adapts to the patient’s heart rate and rhythm during acquisition.

 
GEMINI PET/CT scanners deliver high spatial resolution and high sensitivity PET imaging resulting in improved image quality when imaging the short-lived radiopharmaceuticals used with cardiac PET.
