Biograph Vision

Product type: Digital PET/CT

Vendor: Siemens Healthineers

Installed at: Apollo Proton Cancer Centre, Chennai

With nearly a million new cancer cases diagnosed per annum in India, staging disease more accurately and defining treatment strategies better is the need of the hour. The introduction of Biograph Vision in India that addresses cancer progression with personalised medicine will help deliver the right treatment to the right patient and at the right time.

PET/CT is indispensable as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in the assessment of patient response to cancer therapy and cancer recurrence. Biograph Vision enables a better understanding of disease progression and treatment resistance, to define treatments that can be precisely tailored for patients. Biograph Vision was introduced at Apollo Proton Cancer Centre in Chennai.

“Biograph Vision is designed for improved accuracy, performance, and reproducibility to deliver a whole new world of precision in PET/CT imaging. With the market’s fastest timeoff light and highest effective sensitivity, Biograph Vision helps reduce scan time and injected dose, reducing patient exposure to radiation. The introduction of Biograph Vision at Apollo Proton Cancer Centre will enhance the quality of patient care and expand precision medicine,” said Vivek Kanade, executive director, Siemens Healthineers, India.
