In addition, the lutetium oxyorthosilicate (LSO) crystal elements are 3.2 x 3.2 mm for enhanced spatial resolution.
Siemens also highlighted Biograph Vision's reduced scan time and decreased radiation exposure to patients, as well as its 78-cm bore for enhanced positioning and advanced applications in radiation therapy planning.
