Siemens Healthineers Unveils Biograph Trinion PET/CT Scanner
Siemens Healthineers has announced FDA clearance for the Biograph Trinion, a high-performance, energy-efficient PET/CT scanner designed to meet diverse clinical needs while reducing operational costs. This next-generation system combines advanced molecular imaging technology with an optimized user and patient experience — setting a new standard for precision, speed, and sustainability in PET/CT imaging.
High-Performance Imaging with Siemens PET/CT Technology
The Biograph Trinion PET/CT introduces a cutting-edge, air-cooled digital PET detector based on lutetium oxyorthosilicate (LSO) crystal elements. This innovation delivers:
- High spatial resolution for improved small lesion detectability
- Ultrafast time-of-flight (TOF) performance of 239 picoseconds
- Effective sensitivity up to 128 cps/kBq, enabling faster scans with lower patient radiation dose
In addition, the system incorporates Siemens Healthineers’ SOMATOM go. platform, delivering fast, low-dose, high-quality CT scanning with up to 128 slices. The fully integrated platform supports streamlined post-processing workflows across key applications:
- Oncology — Enhanced diagnostic accuracy for cancer staging and monitoring
- Theranostics — Personalized treatment through integrated imaging and therapy
- Cardiovascular imaging — Advanced cardiac PET/CT functionality
- Neurology — Diagnostic imaging support for neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease
