Focus of Study is Comparison of 2 Types of Gamma Cameras
Conditions
Brief summary
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate a new type of gamma camera (the Veriton system) that provides a significant gain in system sensitivity and improved image quality compared to a conventional gamma camera that can achieve equal or better image quality than a standard SPECT/CT system.
Interventions
The Veriton system represents an FDA approved (510k cleared) new generation of SPECT/CT systems. It consists of 12 small gamma cameras arrayed in a circle around the patient, and is coupled to a 64-slice CT system.
