The AnyScan 3.0 NM Scanner Family is intended for use by appropriately trained health care professionals to aid in detecting, localizing, diagnosing, staging and restaging of lesions, tumors, disease and organ function for the evaluation of diseases and disorders such as, but not limited to, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders and cancer. The images produced by the system can also be used by the physician to aid in radiotherapy treatment planning or additional uses.

SPECT: The SPECT subsystem is intended to provide projection and cross-sectional images through computer reconstruction of the data, representing radioisotope distribution in the patient body or in a specific organ using planar and tomographic scanning modes for isotopes with energies up to 588 keV.

CT: CT component is intended to provide cross sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data providing anatomical information.

PET: The PET component is intended to provide cross- sectional images representing the distribution of tomographic scanning modes.

SPECT+CT: The SPECT and CT components used together acquire SPECT/CT images. The SPECT images can be corrected for attenuation with the CT images, and can be combined (image registration) to merge the patient's physiological (SPECT) and anatomical (CT) images.

PET+CT: The PET and CT components used together acquire PET/CT images. The PET images can be corrected for attenuation with the CT images, and can be combined (image registration) to merge the patient's physiological (PET) and anatomical (CT) images.

The system maintains independent functionality of the SPECT, CT and PET components, allowing for single modality SPECT, CT and/ or PET diagnostic imaging.

Software: The Nucline software is an acquisition, display and analysis package intended to aid the clinician to extract diagnostic information supported by image assessment tools, image enhancement features and image quantification of pathologies in images produced from SPECT, CT, PET and other imaging modalities.

This CT system can be used for low dose lung cancer screening in high risk populations.*

*As defined by professional medical societies. Please refer to clinical literature, including the results of the National Lung Screening Trial (N Engl J Med 2011; 365:395-409) and subsequent literature, for further information.

The AnyScan 3.0 NM Scanner Family will enable clinicians to utilize the device to perform separate studies in SPECT-CT, PET-CT, SPECT, PET and multi-slice CT modalities.

The AnyScan 3.0 NM Scanner Family includes the following products:
AnyScan 3.0 NM Scanner Family

The partial product names 'TRIO' and 'DUO' only differentiate the number of built-in SPECT detectors.

The partial product names 'IQMAX' and 'TheraMAX' only differentiate the type of built-in SPECT detector. The SPECT gamma camera generates nuclear medicine images based on the uptake of radioisotope tracers in a patient's body, and supports integration with CT's anatomical detail for precise reference of the location of the metabolic activity.

The CT component produces cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data from either the same axial plane taken at different angles or spiral planes taken at different angles.

The PET component images and measures the distribution of PET radiopharmaceuticals in humans for the purpose of determining various metabolic (molecular) and physiologic functions within the human body and utilizes the CT for fast attenuation correction maps for PET studies and precise anatomical reference for the fused PET and CT images.

The combination of SPECT, CT, and PET in a single device has several benefits. The SPECT subsystem images biochemical function while the CT subsystem images anatomy. The combination enables scans that not only indicate function, e.g., how active a tumor is, but precise localization, e.g., the precise location of that tumor in the body.

Combined SPECT and CT subsystems are intended for SPECT imaging enhanced with spatially registered CT image-based corrections, anatomical localization of tracer uptake and anatomical mapping. CT can be used to correct for the attenuation in SPECT acquisitions. Attenuation in SPECT is an unwanted side effect of the gamma rays scattering and being absorbed by tissue. This can lead to errors in the final image. The CT directly measures attenuation and can be used to create a 3D attenuation map of the patient which can be used to correct the SPECT images. The SPECT-CT scanner can be used to image and track how much dose was delivered to both the target and the surrounding tissue. The system maintains independent functionality of the CT and SPECT subsystems.

Combined PET and CT subsystems are intended for PET imaging enhanced with spatially registered CT image-based corrections, anatomical localization of tracer uptake and anatomical mapping. system maintains independent functionality of the CT and PET subsystems, allowing for single modality CT and/or PET diagnostic imaging.
