Problem
Current nuclear imaging technologies for pre-clinical studies often lack the necessary resolution and sensitivity for early detection and comprehensive analysis of diseases in small animals. This limitation hinders the detailed understanding of biological processes and the development of effective treatments for cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular diseases.
Solution
MH3D Inc. provides high-resolution SPECT (Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography) scanners designed to enhance pre-clinical imaging. Their Alpha-SPECT Mini® system offers unparalleled energy resolution, enabling multi-isotope imaging for detailed analysis. The system features an ultra-wide stationary field of view, facilitating comprehensive whole-body dynamic studies in small animals. A fully stationary detector system, coupled with a dual-FOV micro-scanning aperture, optimizes imaging resolution and sensitivity across various applications, including the study of alpha-labeled radiopharmaceuticals.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes researchers and scientists in pharmaceutical companies, universities, and research institutions conducting pre-clinical studies on small animals for cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular diseases.
