Siemens Healthcare Molecular Imaging has installed its Biograph mCT at Memorial Medical Center in Springfield, Ill., and at the Spectrum Health's Lemmon-Holton Cancer Pavilion in Grand Rapids, Mich.

The company is highlighting the scanner this week at the 2009 SNM annual meeting in Toronto this week.

Memorial is the first commercial installation of the Biograph mCT with the 128-slice CT configuration. Spectrum received the first commercial Biograph mCT with the 64-slice CT configuration, and installed the system at its new Lemmon-Holton Cancer Pavilion.
