Molecular Imaging at the Point-of-Care  Transforming Workflow A Game-Changing Tool for Nuclear Operations

Serac Imaging Systems has developed Seracam®, a revolutionary portable gamma-optical video camera that allows users to see live images of radiation in motion with surgical precision. The game-changing technology is transforming the way professionals work across medical imaging and industrial nuclear operations.

Seracam® leverages lightweight, high-sensitivity gamma detection technology from NASA space observatories to create a groundbreaking new tool: a hand-held gamma camera that merges real-time radiation images with live optical video at the point-of-use.

In industrial settings

Seracam®’s surgically precise imaging capabilities deliver significant advantages for various operations in nuclear facilities, and nuclear security settings. Seeing the size, shape, distribution, and the relative radioactivity of sources with pinpoint accuracy makes tasks easier, quicker and more effective, improving efficiency and enhancing safety.

Feedback from the Sellafield Ltd decommissioning team: “A small piece of tech with big potential for the future of decommissioning.”

In medical applications

This technology can be used in outpatient clinics, hospital wards, intensive care units, and operating theatres, and it has the potential to increase patient access to care, streamline workflows in the nuclear medicine department, and reduce healthcare system costs.

Dr Aik Hao Ng, clinical medical physicist and senior lecturer at the Universiti Malaya, “Seracam® is a versatile imaging tool, integrating scintigraphy into intraoperative and bedside settings.”

Seracam®: Game-Changing Gamma Imaging Made Easy

Seracam® represents a step-change for medical and industrial imaging

Highly Versatile

Compact, lightweight and mobile; easily relocated across multiple environments. Seracam® operates hand-held, hands-free, and can be integrated on robotic arms, on unmanned vehicles and aircraft, and in submersible configurations for underwater deployment.

Real-Time Hybrid Imaging

The automatic overlay of gamma and optical images – with matched fields of view and alignment maintained at any imaging angle or distance gives unprecedented precision even when camera or source are in motion Images are displayed live for immediate user feedback.

Spatial Resolution

Allows the identification of multiple sources in the field of view, including the ability to distinguish hotspots even for adjacent sources. Multiple integrated collimators, selectable without change parts, allow for a unique “gamma zoom” capability.

Simple and Intuitive

Designed for practical application: plug-and-play set-up, low-burden training training and maintenance. Sealed and easily cleaned (sterilized or decontaminated). Standalone operation with built-in cybersecurity. Affordable, same-day installation and minimal service requirements.

Seracam® Benefits

Medical Imaging

Seracam® is a game-changing molecular imaging technology designed to bring nuclear medicine to the patient — wherever they may be.

Currently, the benefits of nuclear imaging are largely restricted to patients who can be referred to a hospital’s nuclear medicine department, where large, expensive, complex cameras occupy dedicated rooms. Seracam® changes this, bringing molecular imaging to the point-of-care and transforming workflow in the nuclear medicine department.

Industrial Applications

Seracam® is a game-changing tool for nuclear operations — enabling operators to see radiation in real-time with surgical accuracy while they work.

Seracam® has great potential across nuclear operations, including decommissioning and waste management. Combined gamma and optical imaging with unparalleled spatial resolution produces a live display of an area being surveyed, making tasks easier, quicker and more effective.

Seracam® Versatility

Seracam®’s proven versatility has attracted demand from a range of sectors beyond these core markets, including border control, security and veterinary practices. Seracam® delivers the imaging performance that critical decision-making depends on.
