Siemens readies preclinical additions

Siemens Healthcare is showing a number of new enhancements to its Inveon preclinical imaging platform at this week's World Molecular Imaging Congress in Kyoto, Japan.

Siemens is highlighting its new Inveon suite of SPECT collimators and associated pyramids to enable whole-body rat imaging, according to the Malvern, PA-based vendor. The new suite is supported by the latest version of Siemens' Inveon Acquisition Workplace (IAW) software.

The release of IAW 1.5 also allows Inveon to host a suite of research and workflow tools to maximize data acquisition and reconstruction efficiency, Siemens said. In other IAW 1.5 features, the company has incorporated OP-MAP, a new reconstruction algorithm for low-dose PET studies. OP-MAP enables quantitative dynamic studies using low dose and low counts from injected tracer, according to the firm.
