Spectral Instruments introduces molecular imager

Spectral Instruments Imaging has introduced a new molecular imager, AMI 1000, which combines imaging hardware and delivers quantitative analytical methodologies.

The new bioluminescent, fluorescent and x-ray modalities are now available to the laboratory researcher for both in vitro and in vivo imaging in one bench top instrument, said Spectral Instruments.

Image layering combines optical and x-ray images for the highest quality data presentation and analysis, added the Tucson, Ariz.-based company. The instrumentation includes -90°C air-cooled cameras, custom optics and LED-based illumination and calibration standards.

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.
