CapIMAGE™ PROVIDES VERSATILITY FOR MULTIPLE PATIENT POSITIONS TO ACCOMMODATE PLANAR, GATED AND DYNAMIC IMAGES

System’s Features- A Number of Options

CapIMAGE is a small field of view gamma camera system ideal for imaging small organs and body parts including the thyroid, parathyroid, planar bone images, and gated cardiac studies. Additionally, CapIMAGE provides a convenient platform for pediatric imaging. CapIMAGE can improve instrumentation and staff productivity by providing an alternative for imaging small organs; thus, freeing up the large field of view gamma cameras for the more complex procedures such as whole body imaging, SPECT and SPECT/CT. This optimization of instrumentation can improve both patient flow as well as staff utilization.
