   <International Circulation>: I know your study has been involving animal models， but what is the current data for microSPECT for human clinical applications?

  《国际循环》：我们知道您的研究已经进展到动物模型，那么对于microSPECT(分子核医学成像系统)在人体的临床应用有最新的进展么？

    Dr Sinusas:  They are purely animal systems at this point in time. With these high resolution systems you cannot put anything larger than a rat in them. There are newer hybrid SPECT/CT systems available for clinical uses that have solid state detectors utilizing telluride detectors and multi-pinhole collimators. These offer improved resolution and increased sensitivity that allow dynamic imaging which is available for patients.

    Sinusas博士：到目前为止它纯粹只是个动物系统，这些高分辨率系统仅容纳的下一只老鼠。有更新的混合的SPECT/CT系统用于临床应用，它们使用碲化物探头的固态探测器和多孔准直仪。以上的这些做法提供了更好的分辨率和更高的灵敏度，为病人提供动态影像。
