Comprehensive centralized imaging and dosimetry solutions for data acquired
We offer comprehensive centralized imaging and dosimetry solutions for data acquired at one or more institutions participating in a multi-center trial of a radiopharmaceutical therapeutic or diagnostic agent.
- Support for a large number of radionuclides used in radiopharmaceutical diagnosis and therapy such as Tc-99m, I-123, In-111, Tl-201, I-131, Y-90, Lu-177, Ra-223, Th-227, Pb-212, Ac-225, and more.
- Centralized, quantitative vendor-independent reconstruction of SPECT/CT images.
- Guidance and advice on best practices for Nuclear Medicine image acquisition including the determination of the number of measurement time points for the radionuclide used, acquisition duration, choice of collimator and energy window settings, calibration, and multi-center standardization.
- Incorporated advanced compensation for NM image-quality degrading factors such as attenuation, scatter, down scatter, collimator-detector response, partial volume, count rate (dead time) losses, and more.
- Patient-specific Monte Carlo (MC) simulation-based tissue and tumor dosimetry.
- Centralized, quantitative vendor-independent reconstruction of SPECT/CT images.
- Standard phantom (CE and ICRP) normal tissue dosimetry.
