Symbia T Series SPECT + CT Product Usage 1) SPECT: To Detect or image the distribution of radionuclides in the body or organ, using the following techniques: planar imaging, whole body imaging, tomographic imaging for isotopes with energies up to 588 keV. 2) CT: The CT component is intended to produce corss-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data from either the same axial plane taken at different angles or spiral planes taken at different angles. 3) SPECT + CT: Perform CT scans and nuclear imaging studies with the same instrument. To obtain attenuation corrected images and to provide registration of anatomical and physiological images within the patients anatomy.

The detectors on the Symbia S and Symbia T camera systems are supported and moved horizontally and vertically by four linear bearing cars. There is a potential for the linear bearing car to fail allowing the ball bearings to fall out.
