Philips Vereos

Family: Philips Vereos · Modality: PET/CT

Philips' digital PET/CT — the first commercial fully-digital PET scanner, using digital photon counting (Philips DPC SiPM-like array) instead of PMTs. Significantly better timing resolution (~325 ps ToF) and count-rate performance than the Gemini TF predecessor. Coupled with an Ingenuity-class 64- or 128-slice CT.

Variant-specific considerations

  • Digital Photon Counting (DPC) detector — 1:1 crystal-to-sensor coupling
  • ~325 ps ToF timing resolution
  • 164 mm axial FOV (standard Vereos); no long-axial variant
  • Coupled with Ingenuity-class CT

Parts

DPC detector tiles, LYSO crystals, Ingenuity CT gantry components.
