Elscint VARICAM

The VariCam is a variable-angle, dual-detector gamma camera that easily switches from 180° to 90° orientation. It has an All-digital VLSI Detector architecture ensuring high-precision digital event-positioning, all the way from the photomultiplier tubes to the final image. The VariCam features five dimensional real-time digital corrections - for each event, yielding distortion-free signal processing and inherent long-term camera stability.

Detectors

3/8" (5/8”*) NaI(Tl) crystal, 59 high quantum efficiency photomultiplier tubes, and a truly rectangular 540 x 400 mm UFOV (21.25"x15.75"), optimally shielded for imaging at 40-520 keV energy range in single photon and in coincidence detection modes.

Gantry

angle positioning of the detectors. High capacity power transmission to the rotating module is facilitated via a Multi-Channel Slip Ring. Highspeed data transmission from the detectors is achieved by an ultra-fast optronic data link.

Patient handling system

A cantilevered scanning table capable of automatic ”home positioning”, fast vertical motion and pallet translation, features ultra-thin low-attenuation carbon-fiber pallet, including head, leg and arm support attachments.
