Use of a gamma camera to image sentinel lymph nodes during cancer surgery can help the surgeon assess the extent of cancer spread, and could help reduce mortality rates. Portable gamma camera systems ...

A bone scan uses an imaging technique called single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). SPECT involves a radioactive substance and a special camera.

Serac Imaging Systems Ltd. reported encouraging data from two clinical trials demonstrating the effectiveness of its Seracam portable hybrid gamma-optical camera as a point-of-care imaging solution.

A Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computed Tomography (CT) scan centre with Gamma camera (SPECT) will become ...

PET scans detect gamma rays with a specific energy of 511 keV, while SPECT can only detect lower-energy gamma rays because the collimators used in SPECT become transparent at higher energies.

Medical gamma-ray camera is now palm-sized World's first demonstration of multicolor 3-D in vivo imaging using ultra-compact Compton camera with dramatically reduced measurement time Date: May 23 ...

PET scans detect gamma rays with a specific energy of 511 keV, while SPECT can only detect gamma rays at relatively lower energies because collimators used in SPECT become transparent for high ...

The mobile gamma camera market is anticipated to grow substantially due to the increasing demand for advanced diagnostic imaging systems.

Since the donation of a SPECT camera by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a busy hospital in Brazil’s city of Niteroi has doubled its capacity to perform heart scans, expanding access to ...

Thallium acts like a dye so a gamma camera can show the movement of blood through your body. A gamma camera is a medical imaging device that detects gamma radiation. They’ll raise your heart rate.

According to FMI analysis, the high costs of PET as compared to SPECT are expected to be negated in the wake of development of high sensitivity and selective tracers.FMI predicts a growth rate of 4.8% ...

Thus, Professor Kataoka's research group invented a medical gamma-ray detector (Compton camera) and succeeded in high-resolution, multicolor 3D molecular imaging of a live mouse which was ...
