01 December 2022, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Greifswald: An NM/CT 870 DR device from General Electric Medical Systems, Israel is about to be handed over in the rooms of the pediatric clinic at Greifswald University Medical Center. This SPECT/CT system enables even more precise nuclear medical examinations. This is necessary for special treatment options such as radioisotope therapy. Computed tomography (CT) uses a large number of X-ray images to calculate digital images. A SPECT scan, on the other hand, uses a gamma camera to make the weak radiation from radioactive drugs visible. In this way, it provides information about metabolism that clearly shows what is going on in the organs shown. When combined, the two methods unfold great advantages. The images created with the SPECT CT are incorporated into joint, cross-border case discussions between the partner institutions in Szczecin, Krakow and Greifswald. Photo: Stefan Sauer/dpa
