308 Objectives: We are developing a stationary high-performance Dynamic Cardiac SPECT
(DC-SPECT) system using scintillator-based detectors and pinhole collimators. The main …

Differences in the performance of cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) cameras or collimation
systems that have recently been commercialized for myocardial SPECT remain unclear. In …

Abstract D-SPECT (Spectrum Dynamics, Israel) is a novel SPECT system for cardiac
perfusion studies. Based on CZT detectors, region-centric scanning, high-sensitivity …

Because of scarcity of photons emitted from the heart, clinical cardiac SPECT imaging is
mainly limited by photon statistics. The sub-optimal detection efficiency of current SPECT …

Advances in imaging instrumentation and technology have greatly contributed to nuclear
cardiology. Dedicated cardiac SPECT cameras incorporating novel, highly efficient detector …

A long-standing limitation of radionuclide myocardial perfusion SPECT is its relatively
lengthy acquisition time, as compared to stress echocardiography and cardiac CT. The …

The technological concept of conventional Anger gamma camera systems used in SPECT
imaging has not been changed over the past fifty years. 1 This traditional design uses a …

The Anger camera, based on thallium-doped sodium iodide detection of gamma radiation,
has been the foundation of cardiac imaging for more than 50 years. 1, 2 It remains the …
