PET/CT Fusion Available
Enterprise-wide
Affordable image fusion boosts efficiency by
eliminating the need for dedicated workstations
The IntelePACS ® PET/CT Fusion module incorporates critical features for reviewing fused images
from PET and CT scanners. With PET/CT Fusion, you will benefit from innovative fusion and
advanced visualization technology, as well as from state-of-the-art features no longer reserved for
dedicated workstations. Radiologists can improve turnaround times for reading fused images and
make more efficient use of their time, because they do not have to be physically located at a
dedicated workstation.
The PET/CT Fusion module is primarily used for analyzing studies acquired from hybrid scanners
such as PET/CT and SPECT/CT. Clinicians have access to specific PET/CT statistics such as
Standard Uptake Values (SUVs), volume measurements, and viewing features like variable opacity,
independent color maps, Multiplanar Reformat (MPR), and Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP).
Additionally, this fusion technology is not limited to PET/CT and SPECT/CT. It will provide
comparable functionality for other dual imaging modalities like MR/MR and PET/MR, as they
become available and as your needs evolve.
PET/CT Fusion will not only help you to deliver a higher level of patient care, but provide you with the
confidence in knowing that you are working at optimal efficiency. With the many challenges you face
including changing reimbursement rules and scarcity of key resources including radiologists,
improved efficiency is top of mind.
Optimized, Sophisticated, and Efficient
Enterprise-wide availability. PET/CT Fusion is
integrated within the InteleViewer viewing
software, which eliminates the need for dedicated
workstations. It is accessible across your
IntelePACS solution.
Prior comparison. Ability to view a side-by-side
comparison of two PET/CT studies.
Window/level, pan, zoom, stacking/scrolling, and
layout changes in either study are automatically
applied to the other.
Workflow optimization. PET/CT Fusion uses a
number of tools to optimize workflow, including:
a HotSpot Index that maintains a list of calculated
SUVs, instant SUV/CT values at the mouse
pointer position, and rotating MIP that shows all
volumes of high uptake.

Innovative fusion and advanced visualization.
Image reading is facilitated and more efficient
through innovative features such as: Variable
Opacity Fusion, Spyglass Fusion, Smart PET/CT
Fusion, and Independent color maps for fused
and non-fused images.

Referring physician access. Radiologists can
capture fused images as a separate series within
the original study for presentation to referring
physicians.

PET/CT Fusion
Product Sheet
Spyglass Fusion creates a small, moveable “spyglass”
window of the PET image superimposed on the CT.
Variable Opacity Fusion - Vary the opacity of the PET
image in relation to the CT, based on the user’s
adjustment of the opacity slider.
