Washington University in St. Louis received a $750,000 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) on May 1, 2026, with completion anticipated by April 30, 2027. The award supports the partial purchase of a Symbia Pro.Specta X3 hybrid Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography/X-ray Computed Tomography (SPECT/CT) scanner manufactured by Siemens Medical Solutions USA. This state-of-the-art imaging system will be installed in a dedicated nuclear medicine research facility and serve as the institution's only research-dedicated SPECT/CT scanner across its clinical enterprise. The acquired scanner will provide critical shared research infrastructure supporting translational theranostics research—the non-invasive assessment of therapeutic and diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals—across Washington University's clinical and translational neuroscience, cardiovascular, and oncology research programs. The Symbia Pro.Specta X3 incorporates advanced imaging capabilities including iterative data-driven motion correction features and a redesigned quantitative framework for therapeutic absorbed dose assessment. This dedicated research resource addresses a significant gap in available infrastructure, as the institution's existing seven SPECT/CT systems across its medical campus are heavily utilized (>85%) for standard clinical care and clinical trials, with limited or no research access, and no comparable research-dedicated equipment exists in the greater St. Louis region.
