New Advanced PET-CT Scanner Debuts in North American Markets

Positron Corporation has introduced its new NeuSight PET-CT 3D 64 slice scanner to the U.S. and North American markets.

The NeuSight PET-CT aims to revolutionize cardiac PET imaging, empowering practices with cutting-edge technology. The inexpensive PET-CT system is ideal for both cardiology and oncology clinical studies, boasting superior data acquisition and identification technology for improved scanning speed and accuracy. The NeuSight PET-CT system provides anatomic and functional imaging with qualified designs and technology, serving multiple molecular imaging functions for heart, tumor, and brain imaging studies.
 
NeuSight PET-CT’s detector modules are designed to interface with scintillating crystals for improved photoelectric conversion efficiency, high sensitivity, and temporal resolution. Proprietary IPIE technology improves spatial resolution and data accuracy, according to the company. A key feature of NeuSight PET-CT incorporates clear honeycomb and patented asymmetrical light-guided technology to deliver supreme image clarity and resolution, which is essential for accurate cardiac diagnostics. NeuSight also contains advanced clinical applications from 4D Gate capabilities for precise attenuation correction and fusion to optimized image fusion algorithms and quality control procedures.

“We are excited to bring the NeuSight PET-CT to imaging practices and hospitals serving both segment of nuclear cardiology and oncology imaging,” Positron President Adel Abdullah stated. “This marks a significant milestone for Positron as it enters the PET-CT market at an opportune time to meet an increased demand in nuclear cardiology driven by advancements in technology and a favorable reimbursement environment for PET-CT technology. “NeuSight PET-CT is a versatile scanner and an ideal solution for SPECT providers adopting the PET modality. NeuSight PET-CT is also a great fit for oncology practices seeking new systems for enhanced diagnostic and disease management capabilities.” 
 
An important feature is the systems design for patient comfort, with a spacious 72cm gantry and high-sensitivity acquisition technology that ensures safety with minimal radiation exposure for patients and technicians. The NeuSight PET-CT scanner has the smallest footprint and lightest weight of any PET-CT 64 slice system in the industry, Positron contends.      
 
The NeuSight PET-CT is manufactured by Neusoft Medical Systems with Positron retaining exclusive distribution rights for the North American market. Positron gained the rights in a business cooperation agreement with Neusoft Medical Systems’ subsidiary, Shenyang Intelligent Neuclear Medical Technology Co.

“Positron’s NeuSight PET-CT system combined with our clinical services are the best value of technology, operational efficiency and practice sustainability in the industry. We are confident that our new system offers the perfect balance of quality, speed, size, and low cost to own and operate and is the system of choice for any molecular imaging provider seeking to take their practice to the next level with PET-CT imaging,” Abdullah said. “The NeuSight PET-CT system has been extremely successful for Neusoft Medical Systems with approximately 500 systems sold internationally, and we are confident we will see similar demand in the United States and all of North America.”

Positron Corporation is a molecular imaging medical device company offering PET and PET-CT imaging systems as well as PET imaging technology, clinical support, and customer solutions to cardiologists, their practices, and patients. Positron claims to be the world’s only company that offers a dedicated PET-only imaging device.
