nanoScan PET/SPECT/CT
The fully integrated triple modality nanoScan imaging system combines best-in-class subsystems with spatial resolutions of 700 µm for PET, 30 µm for CT and 300 µm for SPECT. The exceptional performance of the nanoScan is supported by a common operator console, software interface, precision aligned gantry, and MultiCell™ animal support system.
The nanoScan pre-clinical PET/SPECT/CT imaging system is designed to address the multifaceted imaging requirements of core facilities with speed and efficiency. The large field of view provides imaging solutions for a broad range of animal models (mouse, quad mouse, rat, marmoset, rabbit, to small monkeys). This comprehensive preclinical system is shielded and compact, positioning the nanoScan as an ideal solution for space-challenged labs.
Identical to the standalone and dual modality systems, the nanoScan triple modality PET and SPECT subsystems offer flexible configurations to address your imaging needs and budgetary constraints. Inherent in all nanoScan systems is a clear upgrade path and obsolescence protection through the continuous development of user-inspired updates and accessories. The nanoScan triple modality PET/SPECT/CT is the ultimate research tool providing solutions for small animal life science, molecular imaging, and drug discovery.
Summary of Key Benefits
- Flexible and customizable configurations:
- PET subsystem: with two different transaxial fields of view (select from mice to large rats or select from mice to rabbits).
- SPECT subsystem: One, two, or four digital SPECT detectors and a large selection of focused and whole-body collimators addressing your current and future applications and animal models.
- CT subsystem: Variable field of view CT imaging from dedicated ex vivo CT imaging to whole-body rabbit imaging.
- Fully integrated system: Single-axis animal movements with uniform acquisition boundaries and automated image coregistration.
- Large animal support: Large 27cm opening for SPECT and 16cm combined gantry bore diameter for both PET and CT.
- Open bore design: Easy access from the front and back of the gantry for tail vein injections and blood sampling with animal in the FOV – ideal for dynamic applications.
- Common MultiCell™ animal support system: comprehensive animal support, monitoring, and positioning. The MultiCell™ system includes monitoring of animal physiology (ECG, respiration, temperature), imbedded air channels in animal chamber for temperature control, anesthesia delivery/scavenging, and a wide range of animal-specific imaging chambers with an easy to use “one click” coupling to the nanoScan system.
- Multi-modality gating: Integrated cardiac and respiratory gating capabilities for every modality (PET, SPECT and CT).
- Standalone modality use is possible for each modality.
- Compliant with CE, DICOM, CFR 21 industry standards.
- Extremely compact and easy-to-use design.
The nanoScan SPECT/CT/PET perfectly satisfies the need for a comprehensive imaging tool in applications such as tumor biology, receptor studies in neuroscience, inflammation and immunology, and development of radiotracers and contrast agents.
