The new Siemens Biograph Horizon PET\/CT scanner<br \/>\nuses Time-of-Flight (ToF) to improve the accuracy of the event localization that transfers two times more signal to noise and quicker scan times. What this means is a crisper image to allow for the radiologist to more accurately characterize suspicious lesions and to determine the response to cancer therapy and help guide treatment. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CT.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-113338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CT.jpg 600w, https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CT-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CT-570x760.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Additionally, we are excited to provide oncology services through Stockton Hematology\/Oncology.
