Philips Gemini TF

Family: Philips Gemini · Modality: PET/CT

Philips' first time-of-flight (TOF) PET/CT — introduced the "TF" (TrueFlight) platform, a major step up in PET sensitivity and noise performance. Paired a TOF-capable PET detector ring with a Brilliance-class CT (16- or 64-slice depending on configuration). Replaced by the Vereos digital PET/CT.

Variant-specific considerations

  • ~585 ps ToF timing resolution at launch (market-leading for its era)
  • Coupled with 16- or 64-slice Brilliance CT
  • GEMINI TF Big Bore variant for radiation oncology simulation
  • LYSO scintillator with analog PMT readout (pre-digital SiPM era)

Parts

PMT block detectors, LYSO crystals, Brilliance CT gantry (see Brilliance 64 for CT-side commonality).
