I. GAMMA CAMERAIMAGING (PLANAR and SPECT-CT)

GE-Infinia Hawkeye is a dual detector system combined with a four-slice CT, for faster acquisition, more versatility leading to increased diagnostic confidence. Provision of data fusion with CT images allows for better anatomical localization of tracer uptake, enabling more specific diagnosis.
