The TechnegasPlus Technegas Generator is an innovative and broad-spectrum diagnostic lung imaging technology for visualisation of pulmonary ventilation and lung function.
TechnegasPlus Technegas Generator
Indication and usage
Carbon Crucible, when used with sodium pertechnetate Tc 99m in the TechnegasPlus Technegas Generator, provides technetium Tc 99m labelled carbon inhalation aerosol (Technegas®), a radioactive diagnostic agent for use in adults and pediatric patients aged 6 years and older for:
- visualisation of pulmonary ventilation
- evaluation of pulmonary embolism when paired with perfusion imaging
The TechnegasPlus Technegas Generator manufactures and delivers our carbon-labelled Technetium 99m ventilation agent; it is primed for optimal physiological assessments of alveolar spaces, facilitated by SPECT or SPECT/CT imaging. Technegas® is developed to address a growing spectrum of conditions and applications, such as:
- Pulmonary Embolism (PE)
- Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH)
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
- Asthma
- Pre-operative quantification
- Radiotherapy treatment planning
- Identification of common COVID-19 complications
