Digital SPECT Offers Unsurpassed Imaging Performance

X-SPECT™, Gamma Medica-Ideas’ second generation digital MicroSPECT™ imaging system with CZT, provides revolutionary internal imaging of small animals in vivo and non-invasively.

It combines functional imaging provided by the Single Photon (SPECT) modality, fused with high-resolution anatomical imaging provided by X-RAY/CT, creating a high-throughput platform designed specifically with animal researchers in mind. Researchers can more easily and effectively monitor disease processes and better understand the effects of new drug treatments. Animal subjects can be studied over time with repeat measurements on the same animals. X-SPECT can be used in evaluating new pharmaceutical products and to further understand normal and abnormal bio-systems dynamically.

Dual Modality Imaging System

Four sizes of interchangeable patient tables: for mice, rats, rabbits & rhesus monkeys. Integral software provides fused images.

Highest Spatial Resolution

Our SuperSPECT™ imaging package generates images of unsurpassed clarity and detail.

Most Advanced Detector Technology

Our revolutionary new ev-CZT™ detectors provide the industry’s best energy, spatial, and contrast resolution and the highest sensitivity.

Variable Radius of Rotation

Zoom in on a specific organ or image an entire animal – from 1.5 cm to 17.5 cm.

Capable of Imaging a Wide Variety of Radio-Isotopes

Gives unsurpassed capabilities in a single SPECT imaging system.

Available with In-Plane CT

Acquire intrinsically co-registered CT images by adding our X-O™ Micro-CT system.

SpiralSPECT™

Increase imaging field of view without sacrificing resolution – GM-I’s SpiralSPECT imaging package allows you to obtain high-resolution images over large areas. X-SPECT is equipped with a computer-controlled animal bed that moves the animal in an axial direction during data acquisition. Our proprietary pinhole SpiralSPECT reconstruction software yields images with resolution equal to that obtained using standard circular imaging techniques.

SuperSPECT™

The new SPECT reconstruction package developed specifically for the X-SPECT system, the SuperSPECT, by measuring the unique response dynamics of each detector and collimator combination, can produce images with spatial resolution better than 0.3 mm. This breaks through the generally accepted spatial resolution boundary in SPECT imaging, which has, until now, limited spatial resolution to no finer than the size of the collimator’s pinhole aperture.

ColorSPECT™

Multiple isotope SPECT imaging capabilities, and, with ev-CZT detectors, opens up previously unattainable imaging possibilities. Simultaneous imaging of ^99mTc and ¹²³I can therefore be accomplished – in fact GM-I’s X-SPECT is the only SPECT imaging system in the world that can accomplish this. ColorSPECT combines unparalleled multi-isotope reconstruction capabilities with GM-I’s exclusive SuperSPECT image reconstruction software, yielding the highest-resolution multi-isotope images. ColorSPECT allows the researcher to use any number of isotopes (2,3 or more) for multi-isotope imaging.

SynApSPECT™

SynApSPECT (Synthetic Aperture SPECT) includes a base with interchangeable apertures – including multiple pinhole apertures – and proprietary reconstruction software. Designs are optimized to enable imaging of mice, rats and other animals with the highest resolution and sensitivity possible. Our exclusive SynApSPECT package enables images to be acquired and reconstructed with the industry’s highest resolution and sensitivity – in fact it has the highest sensitivity of any pre-clinical SPECT system and better resolution than the size of the pinholes. The high sensitivity allows for a significant reduction in acquisition time or delivered dose.

Two focal lengths can accommodate multiple fields of view and a range of imaging applications. The easily changeable apertures can be installed or removed with a simple twist. No additional software is required, as SynApSPECT software is seamlessly integrated into the X-SPECT acquisition package.
