PET VCAR
Powerful patient monitoring
Visualizing and analyzing disease and
treatment response requires powerful tools.
PET VCAR provides automated, interactive
access to valuable quantitative information,
managing multiple lesions and multiple
patient exams over time following the most
popular treatment response assessment
protocols available in PET/CT imaging,
including PERCIST. It has the potential to
improve the clinicians’ daily reading
experience and patient management.
Q.AC
Attenuation consistency for
demanding clinical protocols
Accurate attenuation correction is required
for quantitative PET imaging. But in large
anatomy imaging at low doses, the CT
beam may not be strong enough to fully
penetrate through the patient to the
detector, potentially resulting in variations
in attenuation measurements. Our next-
generation Q.AC algorithm is designed to
reduce potential variance, helping to
ensure that the attenuation coefficients
used in image reconstruction are accurate.
This may improve consistency even in the
most clinically demanding circumstances.
Within Q.Suite,
eight capabilities
from GE Healthcare
work together to
drive quantitative
consistency.
