Gamma Medica to use Pinhole SPECT developed by John Hopkins

Gamma Medica Inc. recently announced that it has licensed a breakthrough pinhole image reconstruction method for SPECT which has been developed by Dr. Benjamin Tsui and Dr. Yuchuam Wang of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
   
This 3-D image reconstruction method allows for fast processing of precise and high-resolution pinhole SPECT images. It is also applicable to high-resolution CT imaging in pre-clinical studies, Gamma Medica said.

The new technology shows early potential to make a significant impact on imaging workflows and patient care. 

Richard Heller III, MD, RSNA board member and senior VP of policy at Radiology Partners, offers an overview of policies in Congress that are directly impacting imaging.
 

The two companies aim to improve patient access to high-quality MRI scans by combining their artificial intelligence capabilities.
