Spectrum Dynamics empowers Nuclear Imaging with the SmartR Technology
of the D-SPECT™ Cardiac Imaging System. The D-SPECT™
is powered by BroadView™ Technology to provide unprecedented
throughput, while not only maintaining, but improving resolution.
The D-SPECT™ Cardiac Imaging System can complete a Gated
SPECT study in only 2 minutes. This is a significant improvement
over current technologies that require 12-20 minutes. This
incredibly fast, high quality acquisition can be achieved
through the optimized features of BroadView™ Technology
in the D-SPECT™ Cardiac Imaging System:
- Larger radiation collection angles and a unique scan pattern
provide 10x more efficient photon collection, leading to
improved count statistics and higher quality images
- Novel design of scanning solid state detectors and unique
reconstruction algorithms that improve resolution by up
to a factor of 2
- Automation and personalization

Key Clinical benefits of the D-SPECT Cardiac imaging system:
- Increased throughput with rapid 2-minute Gated SPECT acquisitions
- Improved financial outcomes with enhanced clinical throughput
- Enhanced patient comfort with fast scanning and no need for
the patient to have the left arm over their head
- Reduced errors with streamlined patient information management
Absolute Quantification *
The sensitivity gain provided by this breakthrough camera technology
provides the capability to support dynamic SPECT imaging **.
The improved temporal resolution provided by a Dynamic 3D SPECT
study may one day in the future allow us to provide quantification of the
data in absolute terms rather than in relative numbers as provided
by conventional systems today.
This unique ability to quantify SPECT data in absolute terms
may become the pathway to absolute flow in the future.
Spectrum Dynamics is fully committed to continuing the
research and development of these unique data acquisitions
and processing protocols in the hope that a commercial protocol
will one day be available to our customers.
* Not clear for clinical use
** Dynamic SPECT is a research protocol only and not commercially available
