CZT detectors technical advantages for SPECT imaging, when compared to traditional NaI detectors, include higher sensitivity and improved energy resolution. CZT eliminates the need for photomultiplier tubes.

Spectrum Dynamics combines the CZT modules in a proprietary and patented column design. These detector columns swivel during a SPECT scan acquisition, while the gantry is in a fixed position and close to the patient There is no perceivable motion for the patient during the scanning session. This design is beneficial in more than one way: focus the field of view in a specific or an for even higher sensitivity gains during a scan acquisition; 3D dynamic imaging of any organ; lower dose protocols; scanner throughput.

In the past, converting a dual head camera to more expensive CZT technology without a broader clinical impact offered too little value. That’s why Spectrum Dynamics engineers took the bold step to change the shape of scanning with 360° CZT design, which improves sensitivity to a point that the system can truly affect change. Without the historical dual head design barriers, VERITON delivers proximity and efficiency.
