SPECT/CT Scanner

Introducing NM/CT 870 CZT, our third-generation, general purpose SPECT/CT system powered by CZT technology. It combines improvements in lesion detection1, image quality and patient comfort with advanced quantitative applications provided through Xeleris™. This latest generation offers an all-new SmartConsole, new CT features, and the capability of imaging the higher energy peaks of medium energy isotopes. Help bring your theories to life with a system designed to leverage all that CZT can do for a wider variety of procedures.

Technology
SPECT/CT as you have never seen it before
CZT is the key component to the future of nuclear medicine. Not only is it lighter and more compact than the Nal crystals used in analog technology, it is pixelated. Each detector head consists of 130 CZT detector modules, which means there are tens of thousands of tiny 2.46 mm-sized pixels capturing events independently, all via direct conversion. With CZT and registered collimation, each photon is directly converted into an electrical signal that more accurately identifies its location and energy. This design reduces the signal loss and noise inherent in conventional SPECT detection by eliminating gamma photon conversion through scintillation and light conversion through PMT. The result is increased spatial and energy resolution.

NM/CT 870 CZT is the third-generation of our general purpose digital SPECT/CT system designed with this breakthrough CZT detection technology. An important capability unique to NM/CT 870 CZT is the ability to image low energy and medium energy isotopes with energies up to 250 keV.
