Multimodal preclinical imaging.
One scanner. One session.
PET, SPECT, and CT — acquired simultaneously, in the same animal, at sub-millimeter resolution. Two routes below: explore the scanner that makes it possible, or dive into the underlying physics.
Two ways to learn more
Pick the route that fits why you're here — the scanner details if you're evaluating a study, the physics primer if you're new to PET / SPECT.
The VECTor/CT Scanner
Our MILabs VECTor/CT — one of the few preclinical scanners worldwide capable of acquiring PET and SPECT simultaneously, at sub-millimeter resolution. Full technical specs, isotope compatibility, sample scans, and applications.
- Mouse and rat protocols supported
- True dual-isotope SPECT — two tracers in one scan
- Supports 25+ radioisotopes
- Example studies and representative images
Principles of PET & SPECT
A clear, concise introduction to nuclear molecular imaging — the physics behind PET and SPECT, how each modality works, and how they compare to MRI and optical imaging. Recommended reading before workshops or starting a project.
- How PET detects positron annihilation
- How SPECT detects gamma photons
- When each modality is the right choice
- Comparison with MRI, CT, and optical imaging
What each one is good at
PET, SPECT, and CT are all available on a single scan session. They complement each other — molecular function from PET and SPECT, anatomical context from CT.
