The Nuclear Medicine-PET Service is reinforced with a digital SPECT-CT gamma camera with twelve digital CZT detectors, the first of its kind in Spain

It will be part of the High Precision Diagnostics Centre together with the first PET/MRI in the Catalan public health system

It will allow a more accurate diagnosis thanks to an excellent improvement in image quality, due to the increase in resolution and sensitivity, as well as the capture of 3D images
