Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging

Technology

Technology at the Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Department- Children's Hospital Boston We use the latest imaging equipment to perform the diagnostic or therapeutic procedure your child needs. Our facilities include:

five gamma cameras for high-quality SPECT and planar imaging (three dual-detector systems and two single-detector systems)
one portable Digirad gamma camera in Boston
one SPECT dual-detector scanner in Waltham
one positron emission tomography (PET) scanner in Boston

?MicroPET? scanner enhances research

Children’s Small Animal Imaging Laboratory (SAIL) has a high-resolution, research PET scanner to help scientists in many disciplines investigate diseases. Our nuclear medicine scientists use it to develop and refine new nuclear medicine imaging techniques.
