SPECT - Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography

IS2 Medical Systems

IS2 located in Ottawa, Ontario develops and manufactures advanced, state-of-the-art SPECT scanners for shipment globally.

SPECT

SPECT is a short form for Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography. With SPECT, gamma ray emissions are the source of information as opposed to X-ray transmissions that are used in conventional Computed Tomography (CT).

Similar to Positron Emission Tomography (PET), SPECT enables MDs to visualize functional information about a patients unique organ and body system.

How does SPECT provide functional information?

First, an MD must administer a patient a pharmaceutical labelled with a radioactive isotope. The pharmaceutical can be injected, ingested or inhaled. As the radioactive isotope decays, it emits gamma rays that the gamma camera collects to give MDs a functional picture of the body.
