Introducing
MP-SPECT
For
dual-head cameras, MP-SPECT is superior technology
that will save money and
reduce radiation exposure
When cardiac
SPECT imaging is performed without any moving parts, count
sensitivity is significantly increased because all views are active
at all times.
IMMEDIATE
BENEFITS:
-
Increased
statistical content in raw data image sets
- Saves money by increasing
patient throughput
- Saves money by less technician
time per patient
-
High-quality
perfusion images
-
High-resolution
gated images
-
Remarkable
flexibility for implementing advanced clinical protocols
-
Greatly
improved patient comfort (patients are
imaged with arms at their side)
-
Reduced
incidence of motion induced image artifacts
-
Increased
patient throughput with improved diagnostic accuracy
HOW DOES IT WORK?
- The existing
collimator changer mounts a pair of multi-pinhole collimators
- Data is
acquired in list-mode format which retains energy information
for each event
- Processing,
display and archiving are performed using a dedicated work
station
- High-count
data allows simultaneous imaging of Tl-201 (stress) and Tc-99m
(rest)
- Gated
studies can be performed at up to 32 frames/beat
- Results are presented in
standard format for interpretation - DICOM Compliant
OTHER ADVANTAGES:
- Images can
be acquire immediately
following stress or even during
dobutamine stress
- List-mode data is converted into
frame mode following acquisition
- Data analysis can
be broken up into time segments to study changes during onset or
recovery from stress
- Post-acquisition formatting
permits off-line scatter and cross-talk correction
- Availability of upper peak
Tl-201 images permits attenuation compensation
- Segmental
post stress processing permits study of volume and wall motion
changes
- Reduced incidence of false
positive studies due to motion induced artifacts
- Saves money by reducing wear and
tear, less camera down time
