SPECT Technology Enables Comprehensive Cardiac Evaluation

By MedImaging International staff writers
Posted on 28 Jan 2009
New features to a single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) system enables a comprehensive cardiac evaluation including perfusion, attenuation correction, and calcium scoring in just five minutes.

Originally introduced at the 2008 Society of Nuclear Medicine annual meeting on June 14-18, 2008, in New Orleans (LA, USA), the IQ•SPECT is Siemens Healthcare's (Erlangen, Germany) newest Symbia feature. IQ•SPECT technology is achieved with Smartzoom collimators that magnify the heart while imaging the rest of the torso under traditional conditions. Combining this cardio-centric orbit acquisition technique with fast, three-dimensional (3D) iterative reconstruction enables more confident diagnoses and improved patient comfort, enhancing image quality, speed, productivity, and throughput.

IQ•SPECT is U.S. Food and Drug- (FDA)-510k-cleared and commercially available on all Symbia S and T systems, and is field-upgradeable for any existing system.
