Philips BrightView XCT SPECT/CT
AMERICA North (USA-Canada-Mexico)
The Philips BrightView XCT is a hybrid Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography/
Computed Tomography (SPECT/CT) system designed for nuclear medicine,
featuring a compact footprint and high-resolution, low-dose CT imaging capabilities,
combining a 3/4-inch crystal gamma camera with a flat-panel cone-beam CT
for attenuation correction and anatomical localization.
It features a 205 kg (450 lbs) patient weight limit, 91.4 cm gantry aperture,
and 12-second CT rotation. The system is designed for high-resolution imaging
with 1 mm isotropic voxels.

Patient Table
Weight Capacity: 500 lb (227 kg).
Dimensions: 243 cm (L) x 47.5 cm (W).
Material: Carbon fiber pallet.
Height (from floor): 26" to 40" (66.0 cm – 102.8 cm).
SPECT & CT Performance
Detector Geometry: Dual-head variable angle.
Detector Material: Sodium Iodide (NaI) crystal, typically 9.5 mm (0.375") thick.
CT Technology: Utilizes a flat-panel X-ray detector for cone-beam CT (CBCT).
CT Slice Thickness: Achieves high-resolution CT images with slices as thin as 0.33 mm.
CT Dose Level: Low-dose CT, with typical attenuation correction dose of < 1 mGy CTDIVOL.
Co-planar Imaging: Features a CoPlanar FP design, allowing SPECT and CT acquisitions without table indexing between many scans, which improves registration confidence.
Image Reconstruction: Uses Astonish reconstruction technologies (an option) to potentially cut acquisition time in half.
Operation and Workflow Features
Body Contouring: Includes BodyGuard automatic contouring technology
to position detectors optimally to the patient's body.
Breathing Protocols: Supports flexible protocols that allow patients to breathe normally
during both SPECT and CT for attenuation correction, enhancing patient comfort.
User Interface: Compatible with the Philips NM Application Suite and
Extended Brilliance Workspace for streamlined review and analysis.
Key Specifications
Detector: Digital detector with 1 ADC/PMT.
CT Resolution: 1 mm isotropic voxels, up to 15 lp/cm, with reconstruction in
