TruSPECT Radiological Image Processing Station
Overview
The TruSPECT Radiological Image Processing Station is a software-only medical device (SaMD) developed by Spectrum Dynamics Medical. It is primarily intended for, but not limited to, cardiac applications, serving as a processing workstation for nuclear medicine and associated CT images. The workstation can be integrated with the D-SPECT cardiac scanner system or used as a standalone post-processing station.
TruSPECT’s core functionality involves the acceptance, transfer, display, storage, and processing of images for detecting radioisotope tracer uptakes in a patient’s body. It offers manual and automatic segmentation tools to present, localize, and quantify radionuclide tracers and anatomical structures for diagnostic purposes. The system enhances workflow efficiency by incorporating both pre-trained neural networks in the iterative reconstruction process and traditional image processing algorithms.
A key innovation is the TruCorr application, which utilizes deep learning to generate attenuation-corrected myocardial perfusion images, eliminating the need for supplementary CT scans and reducing additional radiation dose. TruSPECT also includes visualization tools like segmentation, color coding, and polar maps, as well as analysis tools such as Quantitative Perfusion SPECT (QPS), Quantitative Gated SPECT (QGS), Quantitative Blood Pool Gated SPECT (QBS) measurements, Multi Gated Acquisition (MUGA), and Heart-to-Mediastinum activity ratio (H/M). The system operates on a Windows operating system and can be configured with various software options and clinical applications to assist physicians in diagnosis and treatment planning. Recent updates include the TruClear AI module, a post-processing artificial intelligence algorithm designed to reduce noise in low-count D-SPECT Tc-99m myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) studies.
