Clinical support
Cyclomedica Canada is committed to providing our customers with the technical knowledge and clinical support required to ensure optimal use of Technegas for the best clinical results. We embrace the opportunity to bring a new level of clinical diagnostic excellence to the Nuclear Medicine Department by working with the staff to implement Technegas in the unique context of each site.
- With each new installation of the Technegas Plus system, Cyclomedica provides immediate on site training to designated Nuclear Medicine Technologists, Physician’s and Biomedical Engineers.
- Now that SPECT has become a standard protocol and the preferred method for imaging Lung VQ, you may need to initiate and refine new imaging parameters for your site. To give you a head start, take a look at this series of example SPECT VQ protocols from various sites across Canada.
With SPECT as the preferred method for imaging VQ Lungs, more departments are now considering the transition from Planar imaging. As with most transitions, however, there is a learning curve - the most significant being for the NM Reader. Traditionally, the reader requires a full set of Planar and SPECT data for a period of time in order to comfortably rely solely on the SPECT data. This is not optimal in today’s NM Department.
So…we have made it Easier
To help, we have created the Technegas Teaching file, a collection of 100 Technegas SPECT VQ studies. Each patient file contains a full-count planar study, a typical VQ SPECT study and a clinical case history. Also included in the application is an interactive 3D Lung Atlas.
The teaching file was created in collaboration with several Canadian Nuclear Medicine Departments.
