§ 01 · Integration
The defining
component.
A SPECT scanner forms its image from gamma photons emitted inside the patient. Those photons travel in every direction at once — an unfiltered detector would record only noise.
The collimator is the precision-machined lead lens that solves this. A honeycomb of microscopic channels mounted on the inner face of each detector head, admitting only the photons travelling on a true perpendicular path. It is the component that defines spatial resolution, sensitivity, and image geometry — the physical limit of what the system can see.
01
Spatial resolution
Channel pitch and septa thickness set the smallest detail the system can resolve.
02
Sensitivity
Hole geometry governs how many true photons reach the crystal per unit time.
03
Image geometry
Parallel, fan-beam, or pinhole optics shape how the patient is projected onto the detector.

§ 03 · Configurations
Every geometry,
in-house.
Low-, medium-, and high-energy collimators across every standard geometry — engineered to the customer's drawing, focal geometry, and detector format. Each unit inspected against the program's own acceptance criteria.
Principle
Identical channels perpendicular to the detector. Only true-normal photons survive the septa; the image is geometrically faithful at 1:1.
Clinical use
Whole-body bone, lung perfusion, renal, brain SPECT.
Parallel-Hole
The standard general-purpose geometry. Low, medium, and high energy across the diagnostic isotope range.
Principle
Channels converge toward a focal line; the projection magnifies in one axis while preserving 1:1 in the other — trading field of view for detail.
Clinical use
Myocardial perfusion SPECT, brain SPECT (DaTscan, perfusion).
Fan-Beam
Converging-geometry optics for magnified cardiac and small-organ acquisitions. To customer focal length.
Principle
Photons cross at a single aperture and form an inverted image on the detector. Magnification is geometric — set by focal and object distance.
Clinical use
Thyroid, parathyroid, sentinel node, paediatric and small-animal SPECT.
Pinhole
Single-aperture optics for the highest spatial resolution on small targets.
Principle
Rectangular-section channels perpendicular to the detector. The long axis raises geometric efficiency for slot-shaped targets; the short axis preserves resolution.
Clinical use
Whole-body planar studies, lymphoscintigraphy, high-throughput scans.
Rectangular-Hole
Slot-channel geometries for high-sensitivity acquisitions. To customer pitch and interface.
§ 04 · Process
The full chain,
single-house.
Precision extrusion, machining of solid lead castings, bonding, and complex mechanical assembly — the full production chain under one roof, every unit traced to its lot.
Step 01Raw material
Lead castings and structural components, sourced and qualified to specification.
Step 02Assembly
Frame, matrix, and interface assembled to the customer's drawing.
Step 03Inspection
Every unit measured against the program's inspection plan. Documented, lot-traceable, released.
§ 06 · Operations
A global
footprint.
Manufacturing and engineering distributed across dedicated sites, with qualified production partners on three continents. A single program, served end to end.
§ 07 · Engage
Let's engineer
together.
Share your specification — we will engage as a manufacturing partner from first review through serial production.
