TRA Introduces “Time of Flight” PET-CT scanner - thefastest and most accurate PET-CT Scanner on the West Coast

TRA is proud to be the first on the West Coast to offer Philips Gemini Time of Flight PET-CT scanner.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan and PET-CT (the combination of PET and Computed Tomography—CT) is used to diagnose cancer and other diseases as early as possible.

This particular PET-CT features a breakthrough in PET imaging technology called “Time of Flight” which allows for increased imaging sensitivity and faster imaging times. It is technology physicists have worked on for over 20 years!

For heavier patients, imaging sensitivity has always been a problem as image clarity is impacted as patient weight increases. “Time of Flight” technology has the ability to “even out the field” so that image quality and the accuracy of the exam remain constant even for the heaviest of patients.
