Nuclear Scintigraphy

• Technicare Omega 500 gamma camera: 20" x 14" rectangular large field of view, 3/8" NaI crystal, 55 three inch photomultiplier tubes and a high-resolution collimator. This detector positioning system is suspended from an overhead runway by a telescoping beam mounted on a swivel plate. Electric motors provide movement along all axes in a 400-sq. ft. area. The beam enables the detector to be lowered into the floor for imaging of distal limbs or raised to a height of 8'5" for imaging of the pelvis. The NuQuest veterinary software is PC compatible with user programmable acquisition protocols for control for all functions. Special features include motion correction, multiple region of interest capability, color tables with independent level controls for each image window, simultaneous processing of several studies in separate windows, client database, image file exchange and Ethernet board for network interface.
• GE Starcam 300 gamma camera: 12" circular detector is installed under the floor for obtaining solar views of the distal limbs.
