Gamma Medica-Ideas Booth Number: 1
Gamma Medica, Inc. (GMI), designs, develops and manufactures imaging systems for both clinical and pre-clinical applications. For pre-clinical imaging GMI created MicroSPECT®, and its X-SPECT® system is the leader in pre-clinical SPECT. GMI's X-PET™ system has the highest sensitivity and one of the largest axial fields of view among pre-clinical PET systems. The company's X-O™ system is a standalone Micro CT device that can perform full body scans on a wide range of subjects in under one minute. All systems share a common gantry and are part of the company's unique FLEX Triumph™ pre-clinical imaging platform. For more information, visit www.gammamedica.com
