BrightView XCT Model 882482 Product Usage: BrightView XCT is a gamma camera for Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and integrates with an attenuation device consisting of flat panel x-ray imaging components. BrightView XCT produces non-attenuation corrected SPECT images and attenuation corrected SPECT images with an x-ray transmission data that may also be used for scatter correction. The nuclear medicine images and BrightView XCT images may be registered and displayed in a fused format (overlaid in the same orientation) to provide anatomical localization of the nuclear medicine data. The BrightView XCT imaging system should only be used by trained healthcare professionals.
During collimator exchange, the alignment of the collimator cart and detectors may cause a collimator exchange fail, and a collimator may drop to the floor beside the collimator cart. The collimator may be partially supported by the cart (e.g. leaning against the cart), or it may fall/slide all the way to the floor.
