Siemens recently unveiled a brand new gamma camera with advanced imaging tools for oncology, cardiology, neurology and general imaging. Siemens Medical Solutions' Molecular Imaging Division debuted its Symbia E series single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imager at the 2007 European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) Annual Congress, held recently in Copenhagen.

The Symbia E is the newest addition to the Symbia family of SPECT and SPECT/CT (computed tomography) imaging systems providing users with a high-quality SPECT imager with improved clinical confidence, reliability and versatility.
