iPET implements an advanced algorithm to enhance PET images by reducing noise, sharpening organ boundaries, and increasing contrast ratio. PET scans can be further enhanced by using an overlay of CT or MRI scan of the same region to enhance the PET image to show more details. iPET significantly improves the quality of low dose and accelerated PET scans, reducing scan times by up to 80% of original scan duration.
- Easy implementation
- No change in workflow
- Model/brand agnostic
Claritas iPET
- Reduces noise, improves sharpness of organ boundaries and achieves super-resolution
- Works with with any kind of radionuclides e.g., fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)
- The PET can be further enhanced using an overlay of CT /MRI
- Scan time can be decreased by a factor of 5-10
- Ability to compare original and enhanced scans
US Food and Drugs Administration 510(k) Cleared
User controlled adjustable parameters
- Super-resolution – ability to control the degree of resolution improvement in the output PET volume
- PET smoothing – sets the threshold of noise for the PET input
- Guide smoothing – sets the threshold of noise for the guide, i.e. MRI or CT volumes
- Guide weight – controls how strongly the guide can affect the PET enhancement
Benefits for Clinicians and Patients
Improves quality of PET scans conducted in standard duration and particularly in accelerated scan times conducted in up to 1/5th of the standard duration.
Better for patient as reduces the scan time and amount of contrast agent required. Reduces the need for re-scans.
