SPECT-CT Gillian QA Phantom
The SPECT-CT Gillian QA phantom provides a simple and cost effective solution to verify image alignment and distortion in SPECT/CT, PET/CT & CT/MRI. The phantom consists of a water tight acrylic cylinder that can be filled with a variety of fluids. Four non-parallel rods of varying diameter run the entire length of the cylinder. Images produced with the phantom can quickly and clearly show if there is any mismatch in the fused images.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Specifically designed for SPECT/CT systems
- Covers entire field of view for SPECT/CT systems
- Simple geometry allows for quick visual interpretation and reduces manufacturing and retail cost
- Quick and easy to operate, particularly in terms of filing with radioactive source
In cancer, one of the biggest SPECT/CT success stories to date has been in the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients. Some 60% of such patients are typically refractory but using Zevalin labelled with indium-111 for imaging plus yttrium-90 for therapy, 80% of those treated with Zevalin respond, with nearly 50% going into total remission. "So of the 60% who would otherwise die, half end up with their disease going away and 80% have some positive response from molecular imaging therapy. That's pretty impressive for an outpatient treatment. (Source: GE Healthcare Global Clinical Validation 2004).
