Unparalleled
Clinical Flexibility and Imaging Quality
www.digirad.com
In addition to the Ergo’s™ revolutionary
large field-of-view solid-state detector and superior positional flexibility, it offers
an array of conveniences that support the delivery of high-quality clinical results.
Collimator Options
Six high performance collimator
options (LEAP, LEHR, MEAP, PINHOLE,
DIVERGING, MAMO) provide the
capability for outstanding imaging
quality for a wide range of procedures.
Quick-release latch mechanisms and
flip-up handles make changing
collimators simple and fast. An
optional collimator cart provides easy
and convenient accessibility and
storage for up to 5 collimators and one
breast imaging accessory.
The heart of the Ergo™ is its large 12.25” x 15.5” field of view utilizing the most advanced
solid-state detector technology in the industry. The system delivers unsurpassed performance specifications
for general imaging with intrinsic spatial resolution of 3.25 mm, energy resolution of 7.9%, and count rate
capabilities greater than 5 Mcps. The versatility of the Ergo is unmatched by other general imaging systems.
It has six collimator options for use in various nuclear medicine applications including:
