Spectrum Dynamics is a pioneering medical device company that has
developed an innovative high definition functional imaging technology
that provides high speed, high resolution nuclear images in compact
systems well suited to meet the clinical and workflow demands of
this growing market. Spectrum Dynamics’s BroadView™
Technology, based on a new scanning scheme and novel image reconstruction
algorithms enables a 10 fold increase in sensitivity and a significant
improvement in image reconstruction quality and spectral resolution.
This very significant increase in sensitivity and resolution enables:
- 2 minute Gated SPECT acquisitions for exceptional throughput
- PET like image quality in particular with obese patients
- No gantry or chair motions during acquisitions
- Semi upright to supine imaging
- Small footprint
- Weight limit up to 540 pounds
- Low dose imaging down to Tc 5 mCi
Use of Spectrum Dynamics’s scanners will revolutionize the
diagnostic imaging market, a field that was void of major gamma
camera developments for the past two decades. In order to ensure
optimal imaging results, Spectrum has developed various accessories
to assure quality control and complete patient data collection and
verification throughout the entire imaging process.
Spectrum Dynamics protects its revolutionary technology through
a broad portfolio of over 70 patents, patent applications and applications
in preparation. The interrelationship between many of these patents
builds a significant barrier to competitive entry.
