Your ideas drove our innovation.
Now we’re returning the favor.
Innovative hybrid technology seamlessly integrates the functional images of advanced
SPECT with the precise anatomical detail of multi-slice high-resolution CT. This coupling
of technologies delivers a new dimension of image quality, application possibilities and
versatility—so you can go discover more than you ever thought possible.
Powerful SPECT algorithms allow you to cut dose or acquisition time in half while
maintaining the same image quality as standard protocols. The Evolution family of
advanced reconstruction products, which model the collimator-detector response,
is based on OSEM resolution recovery reconstruction algorithms developed at Johns
Hopkins University and UNC Chapel Hill.
Potentially achieve higher productivity imaging and diagnosis of your patients with
Volumetrix MI powerful multimodality image registration tools, which allow you to
precisely align SPECT, PET, MR and CT scans to enable high diagnostic confidence.
Volumetrix MI utilizes advanced motion detection and correction algorithms to give you
the flexibility to register and display in 3D single or multiple SPECT and hybrid SPECT/
CT scans. Plus, Volumetrix 3D gives you an easier way to review hybrid data sets due to
volume rendering, segmentation and fusion of SPECT studies with MR or CT scans.
Dosimetry toolkit, quantitative tracer uptake
and clearance measurements can help in
radiation therapy planning.
Cardiac Morphing allows for enhanced image
quality of myocardial perfusion scans while
a broad selection of advanced BrightSpeed
Elite imaging protocols are available to meet
your most demanding CT scanning needs.
All of which can help you see more,
learn more and discover more.
