AI Summary

A next‑generation total‑body PET/CT scanner demonstrated the ability to produce diagnostic‑quality images in as little as one minute of scanning, according to research presented at the 39th Annual Congress of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM’26). Its fastest images were rated, on average, higher than those from a standard PET/CT scanner. Conventional PET/CT systems have a short axial field of view and typically require five to six bed positions to image the body from head to thigh. Long‑axial field‑of‑view systems capture a larger portion of the body at once and detect more radiotracer signal, enabling substantially shorter scans without compromising image quality.
