The first automated, accurate and reproducible quantification for 99mTc, 123I, 177Lu, 111In, and 131I imaging,2 xSPECT Quant extends advanced SPECT quantification from general nuclear medicine and bone studies to indications including neurological disorders, neuroendocrine tumors, neuroblastoma, thyroid,...
Nuclear medicine is a unique medical specialty wherein radiation is used to acquire images that show the function and anatomy of organs, bones or tissues of the body. Radiopharmaceuticals are introduced into the body, either by injection or ingestion, and are attracted to specific organs, bones ...
The response capacity for penetrating radiation, such as gamma rays, as occurs in nuclear medicine is however quite low. Only through the inventive combination will the quite effective conversion of the rays into electrons, which take place, for instance, in an image intensifier, be utilizable ...
The same problem arises in nuclear medicine, especially in the application of gamma cameras, such as Anger cameras, for example. With this imaging technique, in a similar way to x-ray diagnostics, as few scattered gamma quanta as possible should reach the detector. By contrast with x-ray dia...
