SPECT only images low-energy gamma rays less than 400 kilo-electron volts ... Professor Kataoka is now working towards developing a gamma-ray camera which works like the human eye.

The New Ultra-Compact Medical Gamma-Ray Camera Fits in the Palm by Bidita Debnath on May 25 2017 11:27 PM. ... (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET).

He noted that the image quality was comparable to that recorded by the U-SPECT preclinical imaging system. The next steps. Looking further ahead, one potential evolution of the hybrid camera could be ...

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 ...

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 ...

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% ...
