Though nuclear medicine has grown significantly in the past 25 years, supporting detector technology has not improved at the same pace. As such, Sodium iodide and vacuum tubes continue to be the dominant technology in the marketplace and the lack of investment in new technologies has placed severe constraints on clinical workflow and the development of new applications.

Spectrum Dynamics changed all that several years ago with the introduction of the first clinical Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) based nuclear cardiac imaging system. The dramatic gains in detector performance, combined with proprietary high-resolution reconstruction algorithms, allow medical professionals to significantly enhance clinical results while drastically reducing acquisition time, thereby improving overall clinical workflow.

Why choose between speed and image quality?

Dramatic improvements in both clinical workflow and image quality are now possible with Spectrum Dynamics. This new technology represents a breakthrough in almost every component of nuclear imaging diagnostics and workflow, including up to a 50% improvement in energy resolution.

Spectrum Dynamics continually strives to be an industry leader and this is made evident with their most recent release of the Veriton SPECT/CT. The Veriton’s exclusive design of 360° CZT simultaneous detector coverage for 3X volumetric sensitivity and true 3D nuclear tomography. Finally, clinicians have a new diagnostic tool. Adding lesion localization, attenuation correction, accurate quantification, and true volumetric CT improves diagnostic confidence.
