MyoSPECT™

With extended field-of-view processing and a more capable table, that’s also wider¹, it comfortably accommodates all patients, large and small, with a complete picture of their heart. We designed MyoSPECT to provide a 76 percent increase in field-of-view volume¹. It’s the right balance of comfort and quality to fit your practice.

Your heart patients come to you with physical challenges that can make it difficult to get comfortable. Obese patients may have difficulty balancing their weight on a narrow table or seat and weak patients may not have the energy to sit up through an entire scan. With MyoSPECT, your patients can lie down comfortably on an all-new wider table¹ design that can accommodate up to 500 pounds.

A true negative diagnosis starts with CZT. The excellent energy and spatial resolution of our CZT detector technology is at the heart of every MyoSPECT image. CZT is also incredibly compact, which allowed us to pair it with a novel multi-pinhole collimator design, creating a tomographic imaging arc of the heart with motionless detectors, so every detector is focused on the heart simultaneously. Also, MyoSPECT ES comes with nine detectors, so you can choose the level of performance to meet the needs of your practice.

MyoSPECT includes several new automated features that help make it easier to consistently achieve quality results. First, Smart Positioning Workflow is designed to bring your patients to the optimized position for scanning and guides you with prompts to help you get them there quickly. Then, MyoSPECT leverages device-less Alcyone Motion Detection and Correction on Xeleris to generate MotionFree images. With intelligent solutions like these, it’s hard not to acquire a quality image with MyoSPECT.

With two out of every 10 SPECT exams resulting in inconclusive stress perfusion², attenuation correction and evaluation solutions are essential to capturing quality cardiac images. MyoSPECT gives you two options. You can correct attenuation by combining perfusion images with separate CT images on Xeleris. Or, since MyoSPECT uses a table for patient positioning, you can evaluate attenuation artifacts by imaging both prone and supine positions without adding additional radiation exposure. Both options have the added benefit of excellent CZT resolution. No matter which option you choose, you can be sure that nothing will get between you and a clear look at each patient’s heart.

MyoSPECT includes SPECT Flow, which combines dynamic acquisition on MyoSPECT with CFR and absolute myocardial blood flow, should you wish to use an external CT for attenuation correction. All dynamic data processing and corresponding results are derived using Xeleris applications. The stationary design of MyoSPECT is one of the key features that makes SPECT Flow possible. In addition, high sensitivity enables short acquisition times, translating to reduced risk of motion artifacts associated with patient movement. With SPECT Flow, MyoSPECT provides valuable insight into each patient’s blood flow for true dynamic cardiac imaging and great diagnostic confidence.
