Siemens Medical Solutions will showcase a new biograph family of PET/CT scanners at the RSNA meeting. Features include a high-resolution PET option, image quality enhancement, a six-slice CT biograph companion to existing two- and 16-slice configurations, and high-performance image processing on an enhanced version of the Siemens' Leonardo workstation.
