Philips Vereos Digital

Digital Photon Counting
Unlike analog PET/CT scanners that use photomultipliers, or analog SiPMs
to detect light, the Vereos PET/CT scanner uses proprietary
Digital Photon Counting (DPC) technology. DPC technology converts light directly
to a digital signal with zero analog noise.

1:1 coupling
Each crystal is connected to a single digital photon counting detector.
This 1:1 coupling, combined with 325 ps Time-of-Flight (TOF) timing resolution
and reduced pile-up effects, allows for a much higher count rate capability
and improved spatial resolution compared to analog² systems.

≈ 2x volumetric resolution³
The system uses 1:1 coupling of crystals to digital detectors.
This means spatial, timing, and energy resolution is improved throughout
the entire field of view, for improved volumetric resolution.

≈ 2x sensitivity gain³
Philips Digital Photon Counting technology converts light directly to a digital signal.
Because there is virtually no noise introduced in this conversion,
the system improves the signal-to-noise ratio which enables improved sensitivity.

≈ 2x quantitative accuracy³
Vereos has improved quantitative accuracy of +/- 5% when compared
to +/- 10% seen with analog systems.²

Premium image quality
iDose⁴ improves image quality⁴ through artifact prevention
and increased spatial resolution at low dose.

Improved workflow efficiency
iPatient drives confidence and consistency through personalized
patient-centric workflow.
The iPatient platform can reduce time-to-results by 24% and clicks per exam
by 66%⁵.
