Reassure yourself with MotionFree
Introducing MotionFree1. It’s the first-ever respiratory motion management solution that doesn’t include a gating device. It’s always there, actively monitoring respiratory motion in the background of every PET/CT procedure. When it detects an anomaly, it automatically modifies the scan and then integrates what it learns into the final image in real time. It’s the new way to scan. You never have to decide when to use motion correction again. Instead, you can have the assurance that every patient gets the benefit of reduced motion in their images.
It’s already there when you need it
The brilliant thing about MotionFree is that it’s always there, even when you don’t think you need it. It gives you the flexibility to choose which bed positions receive motion correction, but it’s always collecting and correcting respiratory motion data in the background. Even if you don’t have MotionFree selected for a particular bed position, you can always go back and use that data to construct a motion-corrected image. It works for any patient in any clinical situation. You can use it as part of your everyday imaging routine, or you can explore new indications with emerging tracers.
Keep a watchful eye on every breath
MotionFree actively monitors your patient’s breathing pattern using information from the PET coincidence stream. Whereas traditional gating devices track motion in a single location and direction at the surface of the body, MotionFree measures organ movement in three dimensions. That means it’s aware of even the smallest movements, which is important because every patient has a unique breathing pattern.
It makes informed decisions on the fly
Because MotionFree uses internal data, it automatically detects the effects of respiratory motion and makes real-time scan decisions about when to extend scan durations. Its decisions are both quick and accurate. You’ll see up to a 30 percent improvement in quantitative accuracy2 and up to a 67 percent improvement in lesion volume measurements2.

Every correction is thought through to the end
By the time a scan is complete, MotionFree has everything it needs to eliminate motion artifacts from your PET images. It fully integrates all respiratory motion corrections into the final image reconstruction. The end result being, you get the benefit of motion correction in every image.
A seamless digital setup
Traditional gating devices are clunky, awkward and take up to 11 minutes to set up. Then, once you do finally get it set up, there is always a chance of signal or detection errors, which may lead to repeat exams. MotionFree completely eliminates all of these barriers with a seamless, deviceless experience. It’s one major benefit for you, your patients and your referring physicians and one less thing for technologists to worry about.

Take a big weight off their chest
When your patients come in for a PET/CT scan, they’re already under enough stress without having a piece of hardware placed on their chest, or being asked to breathe in a certain way. With MotionFree, you can take that weight off their chest. You can also reduce the total procedure time by up to 11 minutes and give them the freedom to relax and breathe naturally. All while capturing the clearest images possible.

No uncomfortable external device
One less thing for patients to worry about
Clear the way for clear images
MotionFree makes it easy for you to keep motion artifacts from interfering with your PET images. Not only does it automatically clear away motion artifacts from every PET image, it also clears away all the workflow barriers that, until now, have made it difficult to get the corrections you want.
