Department Overview
The Nuclear Medicine department has an established cardiac CZT camera and SPECT-CT system and performs a range of diagnostic studies including specialist heart and lung imaging and quantification. We have recently installed a new state of the art CZT SPECT-CT system in July 2024, the first of its type in London, to provide new functionality and potential for innovative research and development projects. We plan to commence a research study using a portable camera in late 2026.
The PET-CT department at 77 Wimpole Street has a PET-CT scanner (performing a wide range of PET studies) and a Rb82 measurement and infusion system was implemented in 2022 to enhance quantitative low dose cardiac PET (one of only a few sites in the country to perform Rb82 cardiac PET). The department has a multitude of features and devices to ensure optimal radiation safety including a semi automated dose dispensing system, hand and foot monitor and radionuclide calibrator.
