GE Infinia Hawkeye Gamma Camera

GE Infinia Hawkeye Gamma Camera

This is an all-purpose and dual-detector SPECT/CT system that is available in either 3/8- or a 1-inch configuration, there is a free-geometry gantry and its design that enables both the 180° and the 90° detector orientations for any high scanning accuracy and efficiency.

Strength

  • It is a high-performance system that has been using the footprint which is same as that of the traditional nuclear medicine camera.
  • It provides an excellent image quality that is used for both localization and the attenuation correction.
  • It has the ability have a helical scanning capability even if it’s used for the shorter exam timings and quality-controlled attenuation and correction maps.
  • It has an easy to learn and also intuitive Windows-based user interface.
  • It has the specific parameters that can optimize ones image quality and also the patient dose.

Use

  • It is non-invasive in nature and also there are no ethical issues as there is no radiation involved in Nuclear Medicine.
  • It involves injection of the radioactive drug that would help in displaying the distribution of the images of that particular drug in the body of the patient.
  • It is used as the imaging technique which will be used to produce scans of the following:
    • Functional Scans of the Brain
    • Thyroid
    • Liver
    • Gallbladder
    • Kidney
