Intended Use
The Siemens PET/CT scanners are combined Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and X-Ray Computed Tomography (CT) scanners. The Biograph 6 is intended to be utilized by appropriately trained health care professionals to: - Image and measure the distribution of injected positron emitting radiopharmaceuticals in humans for the purpose of determining various metabolic (molecular) and physiologic functions within the human body; and - Produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of X-Ray transmission data from either the same axial plane taken at different angles or spiral planes taken at different angles. The Biograph 6 TruePoint PET/CT provides registration and fusion of highresolution metabolic and anatomic information. The PET component utilizes the CT for fast attenuation correction maps for PET studies and precise anatomical reference for fused PET and CT images. Additionally, the system maintains independent functionality of the PET and CT devices, allowing for single modality CT and / or PET diagnostic imaging.
Device Story
Combined PET/CT scanner; utilizes LSO PET detector and Somatom Emotion 6 CT scanner. Inputs: positron-emitting radiopharmaceuticals (PET) and X-ray transmission data (CT). Operation: CT data provides attenuation correction maps for PET and anatomical reference for image fusion. Output: registered/fused metabolic and anatomic cross-sectional images. Used in clinical settings by trained healthcare professionals. System maintains independent PET and CT functionality for single-modality diagnostics. Output enables clinicians to visualize metabolic distribution and anatomical structures, facilitating diagnostic decision-making in oncology, neurology, and cardiology.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and design similarities to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Combined PET/CT system; LSO PET scanner; Somatom Emotion 6 CT scanner; water-cooled gantry; computer-based image reconstruction; supports fused metabolic and anatomic imaging; independent modality operation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for humans undergoing whole-body oncology, neurology, or cardiology examinations requiring metabolic/physiologic imaging via radiopharmaceuticals and/or cross-sectional anatomical imaging via CT.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An emission computed tomography system is a device intended to detect the location and distribution of gamma ray- and positron-emitting radionuclides in the body and produce cross-sectional images through computer reconstruction of the data. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, radionuclide anatomical markers, component parts, and accessories.

information from the two major components of each system, the Siemens LSO PET scanner and the Siemens Somatom Emotion 6 CT.
The combined PET/CT scanner is intended for use as a clinical, whole-body oncology machine with high-end spiral CT and PET performance. The CT component provides fast attenuation correction for PET studies as well as precise anatomical reference through fused PET and CT images. In addition, the PET / CT system maintains independent functionality of the PET and CT scanning systems, allowing for most standard stand-alone CT and PET clinical diagnostic protocols to be available as well.
The Biograph 6 system which is the subject of this application is substantially equivalent to the commercially available Biograph 6 (K060060) and the commercially available Biograph 64 and Biograph 40 (K060631). The notable changes incorporated in this application consist of the addition of a water-cooled gantry option and an optional computer.
