What is it indicated for?
The Vantage 2.0 ExSPECT option to the ADAC Gamma Camera Systems produces images which depict the anatomical density of a patient. The system is intended to provide an enhancement to the emission images acquired using the ADAC Gamma Camera Systems by correcting for attenuation effects in the patient.
