Refurbished Siemens ECAT PET Scanner Accel System
Find a refurbished Siemens ECAT PET Scanner Accel for sale — a whole-body PET nuclear medicine camera system well suited for oncology, neurology, and cardiology imaging. QDI is a small, hands-on team offering pet system service and support and practical guidance to get these scanners into reliable clinical use.
System Overview
The Siemens ECAT ACCEL is a whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) scanner from the ECAT family, originally produced by CTI PET Systems and distributed with Siemens Healthineers. Noted as one of the early commercial PET systems to incorporate LSO scintillation crystal detectors, the design uses a multi-detector ring geometry and supports both 2D and 3D acquisition modes for whole-body and brain imaging.
- System Model: Siemens ECAT PET Scanner Accel
- Manufacturer: Siemens Healthineers
- System Type: PET
- Detector material: LSO (lutetium oxyorthosilicate) crystals.
- Detector count/configuration: 144 LSO crystal block detectors when used in PET/CT configuration.
- Axial field-of-view (axial FOV): ~162 mm (47 planes).
- Transverse field-of-view (transaxial FOV): ~583 mm.
- Acquisition modes: supports 2D and 3D acquisitions and static and dynamic reconstruction modes.
- Gantry/patient handling: integrated PET gantry with patient handling system (standard whole-body PET configuration; specifics vary by installation).

Clinical Applications
The ECAT ACCEL is used across multiple clinical areas where PET imaging provides diagnostic and treatment-monitoring value.
- Oncology — whole-body FDG PET for tumor staging and therapy response.
- Neurology — brain studies.
- Cardiology — cardiac perfusion and metabolism studies.
- General whole-body PET studies including tumor staging and therapy response.
