SPECT/CT
|
X-SPECT® is the new dedicated small animal SPECT system for high resolution animal imaging in-vivo. X-SPECT is available with one or two small field of view high spatial-resolution gamma cameras. The cameras use an array of 2 mm X 2 mm X 6 mm NaI(Tl) pixels coupled to a position sensitive photomultiplier tube readout. Each has a 130 mm X 130 mm field of view. Pinhole collimators are available with interchangeable aperatures of 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm.
For use in laboratory settings:
• Mapping gene expression in-vivo
• Transgenic mice studies
• Infectious diseases
• Cancer diagnosis and treatment
• Degenerative diseases
• Rejection models
• Drug development
|
Special Features:
• The two gamma camera heads attach to separate linear translation stages allowing the focal distance of the cameras to be varied easily and independently.
• Animal-Horizontal Orientation, Animal is stationary, detectors revolve.
• 2 CT options: 2” for mice/rats, 4.72” for larger animals.
• Images small animals (mice) - up to larger animals (rhesus monkeys).
• Animals can be imaged while anesthetized and/or catheterized.
• The cameras can be adjusted to facilitate anterior/posterior planar scintigraphy with pinhole or parallel hole collimators.
• The gantry is compact in size, requiring just 40 inches by 25 inches of floor space.
• The gantry is available on a wheeled platform incorporating a back-up power supply allowing it to be moved between laboratories.
