The PET/SPECT Cardiac Insert is used with the PET/SPECT Performance Phantom Source Tank (Model 76-823) to mimic the human heart for myocardial perfusion.
The “heart” is approximately 8 cm in diameter by 8 cm high, and has a 1.5 cm thick hollow “wall” which may be filled with a solution containing Thallium-201, or any other desired isotope. The insert is then placed within the source tank, and the tank can be filled with a less concentrated radioactive “background” solution.
The PET/SPECT Cardiac Insert is supported on plastic rods, to allow the entire unit to swivel a full 360°, or be rotated to any desired angle, assuming any desired position or attitude.
