inSPira HD Portable SPECT Gets FDA Green Light

Filed under: Nuclear Medicine

NeuroLogica Corporation, out of Danvers, Massachusetts, has announced
receipt of FDA 510(k) clearance for the company's SPECT (single photon emission computed tomograph). The inSPira HD is a mobile system that runs on batteries, and so, at only 1800 pounds, can be moved around hospital wards if necessary.

inSPira HD features NeuroLogica's patented spiral-rotating focused collimators within a mobile platform. Image quality approaches PET with the resulting reconstructed spatial resolution as high as 3.0mm.

inSPira HD is capable of imaging all available neuro radiotracers offering a broad range of clinical applications including Epilepsy, Parkinson's, Stroke and Alzheimer's.

The focused collimators and spiral scan motion of the inSPira HD are responsible for the higher resolution (both in-plane and in z-axis) as compared to conventional Gamma Camera SPECT systems. The combination allows isotropic scans and reconstruction with as high as 3mm resolutionin X,Y,Z.
