Tower Imaging Valencia Unveils the Future of Diagnostics: The All-Digital GE Omni Legend PET/CT

At Tower Imaging Valencia, we’re dedicated to equipping our patients with the most advanced imaging technology available. We’re excited to announce the arrival of the groundbreaking GE Omni Legend PET/CT scanner, the first-of- its-kind all-digital system promising exceptional accuracy, faster scans, and a more comfortable patient experience.

What is PET/CT?

PET, or Positron Emission Tomography, and CT, or Computed Tomography, are two powerful imaging techniques often combined in a single exam called a PET/CT scan. A PET scan utilizes a safe radioactive tracer to highlight areas of increased metabolic activity in the body. A CT scan provides detailed anatomical images of your bones, organs, and tissues. By combining these two modalities, PET/CT offers a comprehensive view of both function and structure, allowing doctors to detect and diagnose a wide range of conditions with exceptional clarity.

The Omni Legend Advantage

The GE Omni Legend represents a significant leap forward in PET/CT technology. Here’s what sets it apart:

• Unmatched Image Quality: The Omni Legend boasts the highest sensitivity per centimeter currently available, translating to sharper, clearer images with improved lesion detectability. This empowers physicians to make more confident diagnoses.
• Reduced Scan Times: The advanced digital detector technology significantly reduces scan times compared to traditional PET/CT systems. This translates to a more comfortable experience for patients, particularly those who may experience anxiety in confined spaces. Additionally, faster scans mean less time exposed to radiation.
• Enhanced Patient Comfort: The Omni Legend prioritizes patient comfort with a wider bore design that reduces feelings of claustrophobia. Additionally, features like ambient lighting and a patient communication system help create a more relaxing environment.
• Precision DL Technology: This innovative artificial intelligence (AI) tool assists healthcare professionals in interpreting PET scans by highlighting potentially suspicious lesions. This can significantly improve workflow efficiency and expedite diagnoses.
• Future-Proof Design: The Omni Legend is designed with a modular platform that allows for future upgrades and enhancements. This ensures Tower Imaging Valencia remains at the forefront of PET/CT technology, providing you with the most advanced capabilities available.

What Medical Conditions Can Benefit from PET/CT with Omni Legend?

PET/CT scans with the Omni Legend can play a vital role in diagnosing and managing a wide range of conditions, including:

• Cancer: PET/CT is a cornerstone in diagnosing and staging various cancers, including lung, breast, colon, lymphoma, and melanoma. It can also be used to monitor treatment response and detect recurrence.
• Neurological Disorders: PET/CT scans can help evaluate brain function and identify abnormalities associated with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, and dementia.
• Heart Disease: PET/CT can assess blood flow to the heart muscle and identify areas of damage following a heart attack.

What to Expect During Your PET/CT Exam with Omni Legend

A PET/CT scan with the Omni Legend typically involves the following steps:

1. Consultation: Your doctor will discuss the details of the exam and answer any questions you may have.
2. Tracer Injection: A small amount of radioactive tracer will be injected into your vein. The type of tracer used will depend on the specific condition being investigated.
3. PET Scan: You will lie comfortably on the PET scanner bed while the machine captures images of the tracer distribution within your body.
4. CT Scan: Immediately following the PET scan, a CT scan will be performed to provide detailed anatomical information.
5. Image Interpretation: A radiologist, a physician specializing in interpreting medical images, will analyze the combined PET and CT scans and provide a report for your doctor.
