Spectrum Dynamics Medical develops, manufactures, sells, and services state-of-the-art nuclear medicine imaging systems.

We launched the world’s first digital cardiac dedicated SPECT system, the D-SPECT Cardio system, in 2007. Since then, the D-SPECT® has become the system of choice for functional cardiac imaging, with hundreds of systems sold worldwide. We then launched the VERITON® SPECT/CT, which employs identical digital detectors made of Cadmium Zinc Telluride (“CZT”). Along with ingenious hardware design, proprietary software, and proprietary algorithms, this enables imaging at unprecedented speed, with a low radiation dose, and superior image quality. The VERITON® SPECT/CT is a platform for next-generation imaging and therapy-guiding applications.
