Customer voices
Here from the experts about their experiences with Symbia Pro.specta SPECT/CT.
“The system is well-designed and has features that save time and are more practical, which can have a huge impact. Using the features on our Symbia Pro.specta, we can now implement treatment assessment and dosimetry more efficiently. We also utilize the system to perform diagnostic studies as well when needed.” 3
“With Symbia Pro.specta, our goal is to have a one-stop-shop solution where, for example, if a patient comes for a follow-up prostate bone scan, they will also get a contrast-enhanced CT… It has more flexibility in terms of energy window. We can put anything on it.” 3
