Spectrum Dynamics Medical and Kromek Group plc announce the introduction of the world's first digital SPECT/CT scanner using Kromek digital detectors for higher sensitivity and throughput. | BioSpace
Spectrum Dynamics Medical and Kromek Group plc have announced the integration of Kromeks cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detectors into Spectrums digital SPECT/CT products, the VERITON-CT 400 series. The integration will lead to shorter scan times, lower radiation doses to patients, and improved image quality and quantitative accuracy. The 400 Series digital detector technology sets new standards with a 2-4 times improvement in energy range, system sensitivity, and energy resolution. The improvements will significantly shorten the scan times associated with current analog or state-of-the-art digital technology.

Spectrum Dynamics receives FDA clearance for VERITON-CT64 Digital SPECT/CT scanner
Spectrum Dynamics has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its VERITON-CT 64 SPECT/CT system. The digital scanner offers improved image detail and diagnostic confidence, with three times the volumetric sensitivity and twice the throughput of conventional cameras. The system, when used with diagnostic CT, enables new approaches in disease management, clinical care, and medical research. The CZT detectors in the system allow for more efficient data capture and potentially lower radiation dose to patients. Spectrum Dynamics aims to replace older equipment and consolidate assets into a single digital system, providing significant clinical, operational, and financial impact to the health network.

Spectrum Dynamics launches 12 detector SPECT system
Spectrum Dynamics has commercially launched a 12-detector SPECT system called VERITON, which aims to bring back lost procedures to PET. The system has undergone beta testing and received FDA 510(k) clearance and CE approval. The VERITON solves challenges in nuclear medicine by using 12 independently operated detector heads and an advanced proximity sensing system. It offers three times the volumetric sensitivity of conventional dual-head scanners. While it is less expensive than digital PET systems, it still has a $1 million price tag. The early adopters are expected to be academic institutions, government institutions, and large health networks. The additional resolution and sensitivity of the scanner can reduce exam times, eliminate the need for an additional scanner, and reduce radioisotope injection volumes.
