Description

• Evaluation of acquisition and reconstruction methods for cardiac and lung ECT studies
• Evaluation of non-uniform attenuation and scatter compensation methods
• Research

• Includes spine and fillable lung inserts
• Lung inserts can be filled with Styrofoam® beads and water to simulate lung tissue density
• Optional Cardiac Insert (Model ECT/CAR/I) may be purchased separately
