Cubresa Introduces Compact SPECT Scanner for Preclinical Imaging Research

Published 4/30/2014

Cubresa introduced a compact, affordable SPECT scanner for preclinical research in early 2014. The scanner attaches to existing small animal CT systems, transforming them into multi-modality molecular imaging systems for disease study, translational research, and drug discovery applications. The product features a slim bore which positions the imaging detectors close to the animal subject, optimizing spatial resolution. Advanced detector technology improves sensitivity to balance radiation dose with accelerated study throughput. The Cubresa scanner is being utilized by IWK Health Centre, an affiliate of Dalhousie University located in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
