Royal Brompton Hospital has become London’s first hospital to install a Spectrum Dynamics Veriton-CT whole-body scanner, featuring 360° CZT ring SPECT technology. The scanner is said to deliver superior sensitivity and energy resolution compared to traditional gamma cameras. “As one of the UK’s largest heart and lung centres, in partnership with Harefield Hospital, this technology […]

Spectrum Dynamic’s digital SPECT scanners provide a foundation for next generation of nuclear medicine, from quantitative treatment monitoring in theragnostics to advanced nuclear cardiology and routine 3D/4D imaging. Spectrum launched the first digital cardiac SPECT system, the D-SPECT in 2007. “It is the world’s first digital cardiac SPECT system based on Broadview Technology, swivelling CZT digital […]

In 2007, Spectrum Dynamics introduced D-SPECT, which it says was the first cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) cardiac SPECT scanner. The Veriton-CT system was introduced in 2017 for total body nuclear CZT SPECT/CT, with a 360° ring-shaped gantry and 12 swivelling CZT solid state detectors. Royal United Hospital, Bath, consultant radiologist and clinical lead for nuclear […]

Glasgow Royal Infirmary’s department of nuclear cardiology has increased patient throughput since receiving a D-SPECT Cardio system from Link Medical, distributor for the Spectrum Dynamics range of gamma cameras. D-SPECT Cardio is equipped with dynamic SPECT imaging that is capable of performing coronary flow reserve and is said to produce high resolution MPI images at […]

Consultant clinical scientist and head of nuclear medicine Chris Boivin said: “We felt it was vital that the latest technology was available to our patients. The Spectrum Dynamics Veriton-CT64 system will […]

Spectrum Dynamics Medical has introduced EMAC (emission map attenuation correction) to its digital SPECT (D-SPECT) cardiac scanner. The patient-specific software application seeks to remove perceived issues and provide solutions in SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging, including attenuation artefacts, scatter, quantification accuracy, additional scanning and patient radiation exposure. “Clinicians today are looking for solutions that provide diagnostic […]

Spectrum Dynamics Medical’s Veriton-CT digital SPECT/CT system with personalised scans has been chosen for a paediatric programme by Vizient Inc, a member-driven healthcare performance improvement company in the USA. The 3D digital hybrid SPECT/CT scanner has a 360° CZT 12-detector design that automatically moves close to the patient’s body, following its shape. The 360° wraparound […]

Royal United Hospital in Bath has installed the UK’s first Veriton-CT system, according to supplier Link Medical. Consultant radiologist Dr Stewart Redman said: “The nuclear medicine department has two gamma cameras and performs around 4,500 examinations a year. We are replacing the older gamma camera with a Veriton-CT system as we feel this is the […]
