Clinical SPECT/CT Camera.

Descriptions

This unique facility will be the only SPECT/CT scanner in the world directly calibrated against primary standards of radioactivity, providing world-leading nuclear medicine imaging standards and research capability. The system will also support the key role NPL currently has in delivering a step change in the accuracy of dosimetry calculations for Molecular Radiotherapy (MRT), allowing better patient prognosis through a more optimised or patient-specific healthcare-therapy service.In conjunction with the Medical Physics Meteorology Institute at NPL (MEMPHYS) the new SPECT/CT facility will serve as a hub for clinical, academic and commercial partnerships. It is envisaged that the NPL SPECT/CT camera will become a new secondary standard for QI which can be translated to new and existing clinical SPECT systems to provide traceability for QI.
