Uses for the Siemens Biograph 6
PET/CT is quickly becoming one of the most important tools available for detecting early onset of disease — before other types of imaging tests are capable of detecting the evidence of imbalance. This is because PET/CT has the power to identify body changes at the cellular level. A small amount of radioactive material is ingested by the patient or given intravenously. As this material breaks down in the body, gamma rays are produced. The pathway of this activity is traced and recorded by the PET/CT scanner. Areas of unusual activity can be observed in the images produced by the Siemens Biograph 6.
With the Siemens Biograph 6, a doctor can detect cancer, determine if cancer has metastasized (spread to other areas of the body), and evaluate treatment effectiveness.
PET/CT scanners like the Biograph 6 allow a doctor to observe and evaluate blood flow to the heart, and determine effects of a heart attack on the heart. Brain abnormalities such as tumors, disorders, and seizures can also be evaluated with the help of the Siemens Biograph 6.

How Does a Siemens PET Scanner Work?
PET stands for positron emission tomography. A positron is a negatively charged subatomic antiparticle, first discovered in 1932. Antiparticles mutually react with particles to create energy. A positron has the same mass as an electron, but is positively charged, whereas the electron is negatively charged. When a Siemens PET scanner is used, a compound labeled with a positron-emitting radionuclide is injected into the patient’s body. The activity of this substance throughout the body’s organs is measured by photomultiplier-scintillator detectors. As the radionuclide decays, positrons are annihilated by electrons, producing gamma rays detected by the photomultiplier-scintillators. After scanning the body, the Siemens PET scanner produces images of the organs using the data collected in this process.

What is a Siemens PET Scanner Used For?
The use of a Siemens PET scanner is widely applicable in the medical field. Images produced by PET scanners allow physicians to observe a great variety of body system functions and behaviors. Brain and heart functions in particular are one area PET scans are increasingly being used. The substance injected into the body is designed to accumulate in areas of abnormal activity, such as cancerous tumors and areas of inflammation, so these areas become apparent to doctors evaluating the images produced by a Siemens PET scanner.
Possible uses for a Siemens PET scanner are diverse. Below, read a description from Encyclopaedia Britannica of the many ways PET scanners are being used today.
PET has become a valuable tool in the detection of cancer and cancer metastasis (spread) and in the evaluation of heart conditions. PET studies have helped scientists understand more about how drugs affect the brain and what happens during learning, when using language, and in certain brain disorders, such as stroke, depression, and Parkinson disease. In addition, scientists are working to find ways to use PET to identify the biochemical nature of neurological disorders and mental disorders and to determine how well therapy is working in patients. PET has revealed marked changes in the depressed brain, and knowing the location of these changes helps researchers understand the causes of depression and monitor the effectiveness of specific treatments.

Growth of PET Imaging in the Medical Industry
One might think the rapid growth of PET imaging is cause for concern. But according to Oncology Journal, the growing acceptance of PET has been based on strong evidence of its reliability, safety, and effectiveness.
“This promulgation of PET imaging has not come in an explosive and uncontrolled fashion. Quite the contrary: each step forward in the acceptance of PET, and—equally importantly—the coverage of PET by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), has come to be through the collection and presentation of evidence in support of PET’s role in oncology. In its most recent decision memo, CMS approved the use of PET for initial evaluation and subsequent evaluation of nearly all solid tumors, based on evidence provided by the National Oncologic PET Registry and others.”
If you are asking about the cost of a PET scan machine then you are considering making a significant investment in your institution’s medical imaging capacity. With expertly refurbished PET/CT scanners available from Marquis, you can enjoy all the capabilities of popular PET/CT scan models from Siemens, at a fraction of the cost of new.
