NeuroLogica shows portable gamma camera at SNM meeting

Jun 14, 2009

TORONTO - Portable scanner developer NeuroLogica of Danvers, MA, is launching a work-in-progress portable gamma camera called inSPira HD at this week's SNM meeting.

inSPira HD is designed for brain imaging, with a 29-cm bore aperture and a gantry that's mounted on casters for easy movement. The system weighs 1,800 lb, is battery-powered, and can be moved using the company's supplemental drive motorized technology. The camera uses sodium iodide crystals and can image isotope energy ranges from 80-200 keV.

Clinical applications possible with the camera include epilepsy imaging, traumatic brain injuries, and movement disorders. Image processing can be conducting using software from MIMvista of Cleveland, and images can be transmitted wirelessly or via an Ethernet cable.

inSPira HD is awaiting U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance, and the first system will be installed at a luminary site in the Boston area in October. Commercial shipments are expected to begin in March 2010, according to the company.
