State-of-the-art technology comes to IU Health, revolutionizing diagnostic imaging

IU Health University Hospital has unveiled a new piece of revolutionary equipment called StarGuide- a SPECT/CT imaging device that is the first of its kind in the state and one of only nine in the U.S. This machine will allow for more precise, faster and safer treatment for IU Health patients receiving nuclear medicine therapies for neuroendocrine and prostate cancer. "It's both a CT scan and a nuclear medicine camera," said Dr. Mark Tann, an IU Health radiologist who specializes in abdominal radiology and nuclear medicine. "It's an amazing diagnostic tool for specific cases where regular X-rays or ultrasounds don't tell you what's going on."
