  • SPECTTo detect or image the distribution of radionuclides in the body or organ
  • using the following techniquesplanar imaging, whole body imaging, tomographic imaging for isotopes with energies up to 5S8keV
  • CTThe CT component is intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data from either the same axial plane taken at different angles or spiral planes taken at different angles. SPECT+CT: Perform CT scans and nuclear imaging studies with the same instrument. To obtain attenuation corrected images and to provide registration of anatomical and physiological images within the patient's anatomy
  • SoftwareThe MI Applications software is a display and analysis package intended to aid the clinician in the assessment and quantification of pathologies taken from SPECT, PET, CT and other imaging modalities
