nanoScan -Model SPECT/CT -Preclinical Imaging Systems

SHARE

Versatile SPECT/CT with absolute quantification and full stationary dynamic imaging. The nanoScan SPECT system images radiotracers with absolute quantification, high sensitivity and high spatial resolution down to 0.3 mm in vivo. Wide range of patented multi-pinhole collimators available with optimized performance for any applications: from whole-body to focused scanning; imaging of mice, multiple mice, large rats and rabbits; from low energy tracers to theranostic isotopes. Best homogeneity on the market is achieved by helical scanning, while fastest 3D dynamic acquisitions are carried out in full stationary mode without gantry or table motion. The SPECT system is also available in triple-modality combination with our high-end PET systems (see nanoScan SPECT/CT/PET).
