Ergo Imaging System TM

Clinical Flexibility and Imaging Quality The Ergo™ Imaging System is Digirad’s advanced solid-state large field-of-view (LFOV) general purpose nuclear medicine camera. This single-head gamma camera is compact, lightweight, portable, and is designed to offer maximum clinical versatility. The Ergo is ideal for performing planar, gated, and dynamic nuclear medicine studies in imaging centers, outpatient service centers, and a variety of hospital settings. The new standard of care Distinguished by a sleek patient-friendly open gantry, a portable base, and multiple compound detector motions, the...

large field-of-view solid-state detector and superior positional flexibility, it offers an array of conveniences that support the delivery of high-quality clinical results. Compact Open Gantry The small gantry footprint combined with a thinner, compact, and lighter detector create a less intimidating system, making it ideal for imaging claustrophobic and/or pediatric patients. The design’s caudal and cephalic detector tilt capability further enhances the Ergo’s imaging flexibility to easily image patients sitting up or lying down. Lightweight Portable Design The lightweight portable design...

Breast Imaging Accessory Your imaging options are vastly expanded with the Ergo™ Breast Imaging Accessory. This modular add-on offers a non-dedicated, cost effective option for molecular breast imaging. The breast stabilization assembly and breast mode software provide the ability to obtain standard mammographic views for direct x-ray correlation, and the solid-state breast-optimized MBI collimator provides superior, high-contrast images. Other advantages include: • Ergo’s™ vertical range, which allows the seated patient to be positioned at a comfortable working height. • The see-through...

The heart of the Ergo™ is its large 12.25” x 15.5” field of view utilizing the most advanced solid-state detector technology in the industry. The system delivers unsurpassed performance specifications for general imaging with intrinsic spatial resolution of 3.25 mm, energy resolution of 7.9%, and count rate capabilities greater than 5 Mcps. The versatility of the Ergo is unmatched by other general imaging systems. It has six collimator options for use in various nuclear medicine applications including: Bone Spot Lung Perfusion Planar Gated Molecular Breast Imaging Salivary Gland White Blood...
