Gamma Camera

The GE dual-head gamma camera is a sophisticated medical imaging device primarily used in nuclear medicine for a variety of diagnostic purposes. Here are some key features of this type of camera:

1. Dual Detector Heads:
   • Provides simultaneous imaging from two angles, improving image quality and diagnostic accuracy.
   • Reduces scanning time, increasing patient comfort and throughput.
2. High Sensitivity and Resolution:
   • Equipped with high-resolution detectors that ensure detailed and accurate imaging.
   • High sensitivity allows for the detection of even small amounts of radioisotope, essential for accurate diagnosis.
3. Advanced Imaging Techniques:
   • Capable of SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography), which provides 3D imaging.
   • Some models may support hybrid imaging (SPECT/CT), combining functional and anatomical information.
4. Flexible Gantry Design:
   • Adjustable gantry for different imaging positions and patient comfort.
   • Can accommodate various patient sizes and conditions, including those in wheelchairs or on stretchers.
5. Software and Image Processing:
   • Advanced software for image acquisition, processing, and analysis.
   • Features like motion correction, attenuation correction, and scatter correction enhance image quality.
6. Ergonomics and Patient Comfort:
   • Designed with patient comfort in mind, offering features such as adjustable beds and minimal movement requirements during scans.
   • User-friendly interface for technologists to operate efficiently.
7. Data Management and Connectivity:
   • Integrated with hospital information systems (HIS) and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) for seamless data management and sharing.
   • Secure data storage and easy access to patient imaging records.
8. Maintenance and Service:
   • Built with durability and ease of maintenance in mind.
   • Support and service options provided by GE to ensure optimal performance and uptime.

These features make GE dual-head gamma cameras highly effective tools for various diagnostic procedures, including cardiac imaging, oncology, and neurology studies.
