The GE eXplore speCZT system is the first full-ring solid-state detector small animal SPECT/CT system. The system is featured with: Solid-state CZT detector technology, Stationary, full-ring, 10 detector design, Interchangeable, rotating cylindrical collimators (Multi-slit with 80mm axial FOV, full 360-degree coverage, and multi-pinhole with high resolution, full 360-degree coverage).  To talk to us about SPECT/CT imaging please contact us at bricsai@unc.edu or call 919-966-2855

Main Imaging Features

  • High sensitivity and improved dynamic imaging and low activity (<1mCi) scan capabilities with full ring detector
  • High energy resolution from the CZT detector with gating
  • Multi-isotope studies. The system will be highly beneficial for drug biodistribution studies, cardiac studies, and other molecular imaging studies.
  • High resolution: Central spatial resolution 1 mm with mouse pin-hole collimator
  • Four collimators:
    • Mouse-Slit collimator: 55mm axial coverage x32mm diameter
    • Mouse-Pinhole collimator: up to 250mm axial field of view, 32mm transaxial field of View
    • Rat-slitRat-pinhole
  • High Sensitivity : .05% – .1%

Training

Training is not available on this system.  Please contact Hong Yuan at hyuan@med.unc.edu or the SAI at bricsai@med.unc.edu to initiate a study.

Scheduling

Please contact Hong Yuan at hyuan@med.unc.edu or the SAI at bricsai@unc.edu to initiate your SPECT/CT study.  Also, please see our study initiation page for more details.
