Q.Freeze
One image. All the counts.
Motion eliminated.
We’re designing Q.Freeze to combine the
quantitative benefits of 4D phase-matched
PET/CT imaging into a single static image.
By collecting CT and PET data at each phase
of the breathing cycle, then matching the
data for attenuation correction purposes,
Q.Freeze is designed to facilitate quantitative
consistency. None of the acquisition data
is wasted, as 100% of the counts collected
are combined to create a single static image.
The goal — a resulting image that has the
dual benefit of frozen patient motion and
reduced image noise.
Q.Check
A quality control link between the
scanner and workstation
Data capture is an important component
to quantitative PET— and an incomplete
set of parameters can cause frustration in
the reading room. Q.Check is designed
to provide an additional level of quality
control, establishing a link between the
console and workstation. This connection
can help ensure that all the patient and
exam data you require for quantitative
imaging is saved in the patient file before
the exam is finished. By capturing relevant
parameters and physiological factors,
Q.Check will bring both reliability and
confidence to the reading room.
Q.Static
Reducing organ motion effects,
quickly and simply
Q.Static represents a starting point for
adding basic motion correction techniques
to your facility and the opportunity to build
towards a full 4D phase-matched workflow.
Without disrupting your standard static
whole-body workflow, we’re designing
Q.Static to automatically isolate data when
organs are in a low motion state, thereby
correcting for motion across the entire
chest or torso. The result is a single image
series with reduced blurring from organ
motion, and therefore more consistent
quantitation compared to a static image.
Q.Core
Accelerating your quantitative
imaging workflow
The processing needs of Q.Suite are more
sophisticated than PET/CT has seen before.
So we’re updating our core computing
hardware to handle the job. Q.Core is
designed to manage both PET acquisition
and reconstruction processing at faster
speeds — in a compact footprint.
