SPECTRUM-DYNAMICS

Spectrum Dynamics is a pioneering medical device company that has developed an innovative high definition functional imaging technology that provides high speed, high resolution nuclear images in compact systems well suited to meet the clinical and workflow demands of this growing market. Spectrum Dynamics’s BroadView™ Technology, based on a new scanning scheme and novel image reconstruction algorithms enables a 10 fold increase in sensitivity and a significant improvement in image reconstru... ction quality and spectral resolution. This very significant increase in sensitivity and resolution enables: 2 minute Gated SPECT acquisitions for exceptional throughput PET like image quality in particular with obese patients No gantry or chair motions during acquisitions Semi upright to supine imaging Small footprint Weight limit up to 540 pounds Low dose imaging down to Tc 5 mCi Use of Spectrum Dynamics’s scanners will revolutionize the diagnostic imaging market, a field that was void of major gamma camera developments for the past two decades. In order to ensure optimal imaging results, Spectrum has developed various accessories to assure quality control and complete patient data collection and verification throughout the entire imaging process. Spectrum Dynamics protects its revolutionary technology through a broad portfolio of over 70 patents, patent applications and applications in preparation. The interrelationship between many of these patents builds a significant barrier to competitive entry.
