The new Pocket GammaCAM from Imagensys is the only one of its kind in the world. Battery-operated and weighing less than 1 kg, it integrates a detector, an image processing system and a display screen in a device as portable as a smartphone. Its 5 cm x 10 cm field of detection is twice the size which of competing products (typically 5 cm x 5 cm) and it has a superior technical performance (spatial resolution 2 mm, compared with the 4-5 mm of other commercially available gamma cameras).
Caratteristiche
PORTABILITY
The size of a smartphone, no cables and integrated display technology.
Dimensions: 10 cm x 15 cm x 6 cm
Weight: 800 g.
SPEED
Processes high-resolution images in approximately 30 seconds, displaying them directly on the instrument’s monitor.
SENSITIVITY
Spatial resolution: approximately 2 mm.
EFFICIENCY
The Pocket GammaCAM can form selective images even at low doses.
Technical data: 552.17 cps/MBq (counts per second/Megabecquerels)
Benefits for diagnostic and surgical imaging before surgery
before surgery
EASY HANDLING
Easier to handle than traditional gamma cameras (in clinical investigations).
FEWER COMPLICATIONS
Simplified techniques, greater certainty when verifying excision of the lesion.
GREATER ACCURACY
Online imagining of the sentinel lymph node: can detect 2 mm lesions on contact, in comparison with a resolution of approximately 5-10 mm for similar instruments (in radio-guided surgery).
USE OF RADIOPHARMACEUTICALS
The detection efficiency enables the radiopharmaceutical dosage to be reduced. For example, even 24 hours after administration, Pocket GammaCAM can still detect lesions with the remaining residual activity.
after removal of the sentinel node
CONTROL
Verify and control the excision of the sentinel lymph node.
CERTIFICATION
Certification of the correct lymph node excision technique.
General advantages
OPERATING COSTS
Reduced operating time and reduction in complications following verification of the correct removal of the sentinel lymph node.
INSTRUMENT COSTS
Reduction in instrument costs: the device will be marketed at a highly competitive price.
REASSURANCE
Greater reassurance for doctors, surgeons and patients following certification of the removal of the sentinel lymph node.
