Detect Pathalogical Lesions
Conditions
Keywords
Whole body, SPECT
Brief summary
A feasibility trial to evaluate the usefulness of a high efficiency camera (D-SPECT) as an imaging modality for general nuclear medicine applications such as oncology.
Interventions
The D-SPECT system uses a solid-state detector, made of an alloy of Cadmium, Zinc, and Telluride, eliminating the need for thick crystals and large PMTs. As a result, the system is significantly miniaturized, and ergonomically optimized to both user and patient.
