Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and features of a dual-head dedicated cardiac camera designed for cardiac SPECT imaging. It highlights the components, technical specifications, and optional accessories of the system.
Detector Specifications: The system includes two wide field-of-view (FOV) high-resolution rectangular detectors fixed at a 90° position. The detectors use NaI(Tl) scintillation crystals with optional thicknesses of 6.5 mm or 9.5 mm. The photomultipliers consist of 33 pieces of 60 mm and 4 pieces of 38 mm high quantum efficiency PMTs, offering improved energy resolution and stability. Lead shielding thickness ranges from 12 to 26 mm.
Detector Electronics: The electronics are compact and highly integrated, featuring a computer-controlled PMT autotuning processor for fast gain stabilization, optical distortion correction electronics, and an active high voltage bleeder with an integrated HV module.
Acquisition Console: The console is integrated into the gantry with a touch-screen monitor. It includes full-digital electronics with a fast PCI bus acquisition interface.
Gantry Features: The gantry is lightweight with a small footprint, designed for imaging in a sitting position. It features a 90-degree fixed head position, open design for patient safety, and maintenance-free mechanical design.
Collimators: The system supports LEGP, LEHR, LEUHR, and MEGP collimator pairs with quick manual exchange.
Imaging Chair: The chair is flexible with easy positioning, adjustable seat height, and an autolocking system for patient comfort.
Documentation: Automated printing and reporting are available with high-quality inkjet color and black/white hardcopy options.
NEMA Specifications: The system offers a field of view of 370 mm x 210 mm, energy range of 40–300 keV, and intrinsic energy resolution for 99mTc at 9.7%. It provides detailed intrinsic flood field uniformity and spatial resolution metrics.
Optional Accessories: Available accessories include a workstation, tuning and test phantoms, and DICOM 3.0 communication software.
Clinical Processing Workstation: The workstation features a dual-core processor, 2 GB RAM, 1 TB hard disk, and full DICOM 3.0 compatibility. It includes a 19” high-resolution LCD monitor and supports various digital corrections and ECG triggering for cardiac studies.
