ThyroPIX has been tested on a phantom model developed by the Czech Metrology Institute. They also created a complete computer simulation of the entire detection system. “The reason was so that our colleagues from ADVACAM did not have to produce dozens of different combinations of sensors,” explains Jan Rusňák from the Department of Primary Metrology of Ionizing Radiation of CMI.

The camera was tested at the Center for Advanced Preclinical Imaging, 1st Faculty of Medicine, Charles University.  “The main advantage of ThyroPIX is that it offers standardization of examinations, a wide field of vision and higher sensitivity than other devices,” says Luděk Šefc, head of the center, adding: “The compactness and the associated mobility of the device are also great. Thanks to it, it is possible to examine a patient directly in bed.”
