Gantry-free gamma camera in development:
This article was originally published in Clinica
Executive Summary
ADAC Laboratories is developing what it says is the first gantry-free gamma camera for nuclear medicine studies. The design of the Skylight system would allow the detectors to be mounted directly into a room, avoiding the need for floor-fixed mechanical gantries and will "provide a level of openness and patient access not currently possible", according to the Milpitas, California-based company at the RSNA conference in Chicago. The detectors can move independently, allowing new procedures such as total body venograms, dual detector body spots, full-brain SPECT and standing total body imaging. The system could also be used in conjunction with other techniques, including computed tomography and ultrasound.

We discuss some of the advantages of becoming a standalone company, for example in leaning into a wider concept of self-care.
