See what you’ve been
missing with the world’s
only digital PET/CT
The Vereos PET/CT takes a leap forward by giving you
improved contrast and superb SUV quantitation. It positions
you to go beyond the current limitations in PET/CT imaging
and improve patient care.

Digital Photon
Counting
At the core of the Vereos revolution
is our proprietary Digital Photon
Counting (DPC) technology.
Compared to analog*, our DPC
technology improves performance
in three key parameters:
≈ 2x volumetric resolution
≈ 2x sensitivity gain
≈ 2x quantitative accuracy
See more with
a faster Time-of-Flight
Seeing further requires faster Time-of-Flight (TOF) performance. Vereos PET/CT
has it, providing you greater sensitivity gain than analog systems.* This data,
which is a result of the improved sensitivity gain, enables you to achieve
improved image quality. Our faster TOF performance can also help you manage
examination time, giving you quick exams and fast results.

Philips exclusive Digital Photon
Counting (DPC) technology
Our revolutionary
digital breakthrough
in PET imaging
DPC converts scintillation
light directly to a digital signal,
with zero analog noise.
DPC reduces the traditional tradeoffs
between sensitivity gains and
resolution gains.
DPC compared to analog* enables:
• Faster TOF
• Faster timing resolution
• Faster post-processing
and image fusion
• Faster throughput
and workflow
* GEMINI TF 16
Resolution gains
Our DPC technology is the only
true digital detection technology
available in the industry. The system
uses 1:1 coupling of scintillators to
digital detectors. That means spatial,
timing, and energy resolution is
improved throughout the entire multi-
dimensional field of view, for improved
volumetric resolution.
≈ 2x volumetric resolution
Sensitivity gains
Our DPC 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. Coupled with
fast timing resolution, image contrast
improves leading to potentially
enhanced lesion detectability.
≈ 2x sensitivity gain
Quantitative gains
Our DPC technology provides a linear
count rate performance, which makes
the peak count rate higher. An increased
rate plus fast timing resolution capabilities
gives an improvement in quantitative
accuracy. The imaging chain maintains
digital data integrity through the
entire imaging chain. Add to that our
reconstruction, and you get outstanding
images with fast post-processing.

your preference.
Without O-MAR With O-MAR
See how your patients benefit
• iPatient: iPatient offers personalized patient-centric
workflow built for iterative reconstruction techniques
and high image quality at low dose levels to drive
confidence and consistency 24/7.
• iDose4 Premium Package: iDose4 improves image
quality* through artifact prevention and increased spatial
resolution at low dose. O-MAR reduces artifacts caused
by large orthopedic implants. Together they produce
high image quality with reduced artifacts.
• Fast scanning: Patients spend less time in scanner.
• Short bore length: Less time in bore may enhance
patient comfort.
• Gentle lighting: An improved industrial design contributes
to your patients’ peace of mind.
Your patients can benefit from the revolutionary Vereos PET/CT system.

* Improved image quality is defined by
improvements in spatial resolution and/or noise
reduction as measured in phantom studies.
