New SPECT System

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 05 Jul 2005
A new single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) system provides a simple solution enabling medical facilities an entry to the molecular imaging environment, with the option to upgrade to a range of attenuation-correction, anatomic-mapping, and computed tomography (CT) options at a later date.

The Symbia S is an offshoot of the TruePoint SPECT-CT systems developed by Siemens Medical Solutions (Erlangen, Germany). More...
The system's high-definition dynamic digital detectors (HD), Flash three-dimensional (3D) technology, workflow automation features, and user-friendly design allow for integration into a variety of clinical settings.

"As molecular imaging progresses, the need to expand SPECT capabilities is becoming more prevalent,” stated Michael Reitermann, president, Molecular Imaging Division, Siemens Medical Solutions. "With Symbia S, we created a system to help facilities not only address their current clinical needs, but to begin preparing for the future.”

The system's HD technology offers an excellent count rate, image quality, and reliability to enhance diagnostic confidence, while its Autoform automatic body contouring system keeps detectors close to the body, providing for high uniformity and precise angulations. The integration of syngo e.soft platform into the operating system provides a common, intuitive user interface and enables easy access to patient data. The Symbia S was recently introduced at the 2005 Society of Nuclear Medicine annual meeting in June 2005 in Toronto (Canada).
