TheraMAX SPECT/CT

Mediso Introduces True Theranostic TheraMAX SPECT/CT

The TheraMAX is equipped with three, large surface detectors (up to 5x larger than 12-detector CZT systems) surrounding the patients completely (360°). The 15.9mm thick NaI crystals ensure improved sensitivity for high energy photons, while the high-density sensor arrangement (123 PMT per detector head) allows high spatial resolution leading to PET-like image quality in all NM applications.

IVUS and iFR Technologies Receive Top-level Recognition in New ESC Guidelines, Reinforcing their Role In Optimizing Coronary Interventions and Patient Outcomes

The latest updates to these ESC guidelines emphasize the robust clinical evidence supporting the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR), both of which have demonstrated significant benefits in improving patient outcomes through numerous large-scale randomized trials like DEFINE FLAIR and iFR SWEDEHEART. The updates were announced at the recent ESC Congress in London, five years after the last update in 2019, and simultaneously published in the European Heart Journal.
