DESCRIPTION

It combines the SPECT image quality and productivity enhancements of the 800 Series with the essential CT technology for providing that all-important layer of anatomical information, which you need specifically for localization and attenuation correction in SPECT imaging. It has the smallest footprint of all our 800 Series SPECT/CT systems and provides an easy upgrade path to diagnostic CT technology. With NM/CT 850, you don’t need the space for a high-end CT to ensure every SPECT image has the valuable perspective of CT.

 All our new 800 Series SPECT/CT systems build on the success of the 600 Series with a collection of SPECT technology enhancements that add to the value of nuclear medicine. In addition to the all-new SmartConsole, these enhancements include a new LEHRS (Low Energy High Resolution and Sensitivity) collimator, which can be combined with either SPECT Step & Shoot Continuous scanning mode or our Planar Clarity 2D processing to increase sensitivity and enable a reduction of scan times or injected dose¹. It’s called SwiftScan Planar and SwiftScan SPECT. NM/CT 850 also includes the Elite NXT detectors, designed to address some of nuclear medicine’s biggest challenges.

With the range of CT technology available today, you don’t necessarily need a high-powered, diagnostic CT to get the benefits of anatomical information for your SPECT images. NM/CT 850 includes our Revolution™ ACTs CT system, which has been adapted to provide the low-dose scanning specifically needed for localization and attenuation correction in nuclear medicine hybrid imaging. It’s an eight-slice CT system with many of the image-quality-enhancing technologies that were previously limited to high-end, diagnostic CT systems. It’s a much more compact system with the essential CT technologies you need to provide advanced SPECT/CT exams without the extra cost and siting requirements of a 16-row detector CT.
