nanoScan® SPECT/CT/PET
Versatile SPECT with Real dynamic PET with absolute quantification
The nanoScan® triple modality system combines all benefits of the nanoScan® PET/CT and SPECT/CT in a single, fully integrated device.
The SPECT part 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.
The PET part is equipped with the finest detector crystal needles ensuring high spatial resolution down to 700 μm in vivo. Quantitative results delivered over the widest range of radioactivity levels from 60 Bq to 60 MBq (1.6 nCi – 1.6 mCi). Large ring diameter allows imaging of multiple mice and large animals.
The triple modality system is also available as a combination of an integrated PET/CT and a standalone SPECT for higher throughput.
