Marking another major milestone in advanced diagnostic care, Amrita Hospital officially inaugurated the next-generation Symbia Pro.specta SPECT/CT system in the Department of Nuclear Medicine. The installation of this state-of-the-art imaging platform further strengthens the hospital’s position as a leader in precision diagnostics and personalised care.
The newly introduced Symbia Pro.specta (16-slice) is a high-end SPECT/CT scanner equipped with advanced software and hardware designed to deliver exceptional image quality with enhanced speed, accuracy, and patient comfort. The system joins Amrita Hospital’s existing world-class imaging infrastructure, which includes GE SPECT/CT, Siemens PET/CT, and the advanced Siemens Biograph PET/MR (3T MMR) platform.
With this addition, the Nuclear Medicine division has set a new benchmark in diagnostic imaging with expanded theranostic potential—integrating imaging and therapy to support highly personalised treatment pathways.
The Symbia Pro.specta combines high-performance SPECT and CT technologies to provide superior anatomical and functional imaging while maintaining ultra-low radiation exposure. The scanner enables faster scan times supported by intelligent workflow tools, automated motion correction, and advanced processing capabilities. This technology supports a wide range of clinical applications, including oncology, cardiology, neurology, infection imaging, and theranostics, allowing clinicians to make faster and more confident decisions in disease detection, staging, treatment planning, and follow-up care.
Designed with patient comfort at its core, the system accommodates children, elderly patients, and individuals with mobility challenges with ease, ensuring a smooth and reassuring experience without compromising diagnostic quality.
The installation reflects Amrita Hospital’s continued commitment to bringing the latest global innovations in healthcare to the community. By combining speed, precision, flexibility, and future-ready upgradability, the Symbia Pro.specta will play a vital role in advancing nuclear medicine services in Kerala and beyond. With this latest upgrade, Amrita Hospital, Kochi continues to deliver on its promise of faster answers, clearer images, and truly personalised care.
