2. Cost-effective - UltraSPECT products have consistently proven to be the most cost-effective alternative for lowering dose in NM. Not only is the investment price considerably less than the investment in a new camera, but facilities can ‎leverage their existing investment in their NM equipment, and also increase equipment performance both in terms of patient care and patient throughput, all with no trade-off in image quality.

3. Vendor neutral low dose imaging solution - Offers standardized/unified protocol for all equipment across all hospitals and imaging centers, regardless of the age or manufacturer of the NM cameras and the NM workstations.


DOTmed News: What stands between breakthroughs in PACS- and EHR-integrated low-dose imaging solutions, and their implementation on a national scale?

YS: Let's start with the fact that PACS and EHR has to include elements of dose monitoring and reporting systems. The best way to monitor and control the dose level in each scan is to include automatic reporting systems and records keeping. Once the accreditation process will include review of the records of the dose levels, the implementation on national scale will increase dramatically. Once again, the ASNC low dose imaging guidelines have to be mandated and have to be included in the accreditation by IAC or ACR if they are going to result in large scale change.
