DESCRIPTION
The NM/CT system is a premium hybrid SPECT/CT imaging solution designed for high-performance nuclear medicine applications, offered in three configurations: NM/CT 850, NM/CT 860, and NM/CT 870. Each configuration combines a dual-detector, free-geometry nuclear imaging camera with advanced CT technology to deliver superior imaging capabilities for a wide range of clinical needs. The systems are equipped with the state-of-the-art Elite NXT detector technology, which features 3/8″ or 5/8″ thick detectors for high-resolution nuclear imaging. This ensures precise imaging for both clinical diagnostics and research applications, with the flexibility to accommodate a variety of patient types and scanning scenarios.
The NM/CT 850 and NM/CT 860 configurations feature the Revolution ACTs CT system, an 8-slice CT scanner with advanced OptiDose* dose management features, designed for low-dose hybrid imaging applications. The Revolution ACTs CT includes a short-geometry gantry, a 2.0 MHU tube anode heat storage capacity, and 24 kW of maximum power, providing exceptional imaging performance while minimizing patient radiation exposure. The NM/CT 860 also offers optional 16-slice overlapped reconstruction in axial scanning mode, providing additional flexibility for different imaging needs. On the other hand, the NM/CT 870 is paired with the high-performance Optima CT540, a 16-slice CT system with optional 32-slice reconstruction, featuring a short-geometry gantry, a 6.3 MHU tube anode heat storage capacity, and up to 53.2 kW of power for advanced CT imaging with a focus on low-dose applications.
One of the key strengths of the NM/CT system is its flexibility and versatility in patient positioning. The systems include a slim-profile, wide-bore, robotic gantry design that allows rapid, simultaneous multi-axis gantry motions. The detectors in all configurations can be positioned at 180° and 90° orientations, allowing for efficient whole-body (WB) and SPECT scanning. Additionally, the detectors can be oriented upright or horizontally, making it possible to scan patients in various positions, whether standing, sitting, or lying in a hospital bed. This multi-functional gantry and table design allows for a wide range of clinical applications, including imaging patients with limited mobility.
The systems are equipped with a multi-functional, dual-axis imaging table that features automatic “home” positioning for easy setup and pre-programmed detector geometries and imaging modes. This feature streamlines workflows and enhances operational efficiency by reducing setup time and ensuring that each scan is optimized for the patient’s specific needs. Real-time automatic body contouring further enhances image quality and ensures accurate localization of areas of interest, while the intuitive Linux-based user interface and Smart Console digital processing workstation make it easy for technologists to manage scans and patient data.
The integrated Ignite workflow and Xeleris processing and review workstation offer powerful tools for automated image processing, connectivity, and collaboration, ensuring smoother workflows and improved departmental productivity. With the NM/CT 870 configuration, the system is also Digital Ready, enabling an in-field upgrade to a CZT-based technology. This upgrade path allows future access to cutting-edge digital detector technology, expanding Nuclear Medicine applications and research opportunities without requiring a complete system replacement.
Overall, the NM/CT 850, 860, and 870 configurations provide exceptional imaging flexibility, high-quality diagnostics, and long-term investment protection, making them ideal choices for hospitals and research institutions seeking to enhance their nuclear medicine imaging capabilities.
