  • Integrated breast X-ray and molecular imaging system
    Patent number: 8217357
    Abstract: An integrated tomosynthesis/molecular breast imaging device having improved sensitivity includes tomosynthesis imaging components and molecular breast imaging components. The imaging components may be used individually or in combination to provide a system with improved sensitivity and specificity. Molecular imaging components may be smoothly advanced or withdrawn depending upon the desired imaging mode. The system supports both PET and SPECT imaging and enables SPECT collimation to be modified in accordance with image capture requirements.
    Type: Grant

  • System and Method for Molecular Breast Imaging with Biopsy Capability and Improved Tissue Coverage
    Publication number: 20100261997
    Abstract: An dual head molecular based imaging system includes at least one gamma camera having slanted collimators The use of one or more slant collimators can greatly improve viewing coverage of a dual-head gamma camera breast imaging system, providing improved three-dimensional localization and biopsy capability as well as improved coverage of axilla and chest wall tissue. The dual-head gamma camera breast imaging capability may be provided in a dedicated system, or alternatively as part of a fused x-ray, molecular based imaging system.
