Highly magnified pinhole collimation combined with ultra-large & efficient detectors has been proven to provide the highest resolution and sensitivity in SPECT. As illustrated by the sensitivity vs resolution graphs of three commercial preclinical systems, U-SPECT offers a 3 to 30 times better sensitivity at equal resolution. Correspondingly, the resolution of U-SPECT is far superior. As a result, U-SPECT can be used to detect tiny lesions and to produce great images with only tiny amounts of tracers. The superior sensitivity combined with stationary detection furthermore provides unprecedented high frame rates (4D-SPECT) as well as outstanding throughput. Interestingly, these advances over other systems are amplified when imaging high-energy gammas from, e.g., theranostic isotopes – a unique additional capability enabled by MILabs’ proprietary M7™ stationary cluster pinhole technology.
