Global Intermed is pleased to announce its new
affiliation with MEDX, Inc. to provide remanufactured
Gamma Cameras for medical nuclear imaging to select countries Worldwide. MedX, Inc. is an established company located in Arlington Heights, IL USA
that has been serving the nuclear imaging community for 31+ years with
over 2000 installations Worldwide. Gamma Cameras and the supporting
software are efficacious,
efficient and cost-effective in terms of data
acquisition and interpretation of changes in cellular metabolism. They are used for diagnosis primarily in the
Cardiology and Oncology Specialties but have applications in other medical
specialties as well. These remanufactured units are guaranteed to meet or
exceed the systems' specifications for uniformity and resolution when they
were new. All of the units are fitted with new 3/8" x 15-3/4" Sodium
Iodide Crystals. In addition, they come equipped with photo-multiplier
tubes that include an AUTOTUNE detector and automatic field Uniformity,
Linearty and Energy correction. The field of view is 400mm circular or 508
mm x 368 mm rectangular. The units employ low energy all purpose
resolution (LEAP) or low energy high resolution (LEHR) collimators that
can be changed easily. The counterbalanced ring SPECT gantry facilitates
easy positioning and the patient table is of low attenuation for planar
and SPECT imaging. A digital display indicates the rotational angle and
bed position.
The Hardware and Software
are optimized for use in Cardiology and General Nuclear Medicine procedures and meet
the NEMA (American Electrical
Manufacturers Association) standards
while conforming to FDA Quality System Regulations (QSR). The NuQuest™
Software is designed to run on the latest Windows operating systems and
include intuitive pull-down menus. NuQuest™ can acquire and process data
simultaneously while displaying dynamic on-screen pulse height analysis.
The acquisition matrices range from 64 x 64 to 1024 x 1024. and are capable of
receiving
data from dual isotopes while processing and displaying it
with interpretation in three
dimensions. Moreover, the software is designed to provided SPECT whole
body and planar imaging. Generated graphics can be be reduced to the JPEG format
thereby making
it possible to export the pictures and display them on any computer. The
software utilizes the DICOM Printing standard. MEDX, Inc. offers DICOM
standard file storage and retrieval features
as an option upon request. Software generated movies can be reduced to the AVI format
for easy export and display on any computer. Finally, the software
includes a powerful patient database for cataloguing examination results
as well other relevant patient information. The end-users are free to
upgrade their hardware as a matter of choice because the software is
Windows compatible. Software network capability is standard while remote
communication capacity is offered as an option. Finally, the software is
being upgraded continuously by MEDX, Inc. Engineers to insure that the
installations have ongoing state-of-the-art processing.
The units require a minimum
of 8' x 10' (2.5 m x 3.1 m) floor space although 15' x 18' (4 m x 5 m) is recommended. The total
camera weight is 3051 lbs. (1384 kg.) with a Gantry floor loading force of 6 lbs/sq in.
(.42 kg-force/square centimeter) and
point loading of 91.4 lbs./sq. in. (6.43 kg-force/square centimeter). The entire system requires an independent clean
power supply that must be separate from lighting or other non-accessory power
loads. In addition, all system and accessory outlets should be supplied by
a common mains spur. Any isolation or current transformers that might be
required to meet location dependent requirements are available for a nominal fee.
Dr. Jacque Habermel, BS, CNMT,
ARRT (R) (N) writes: "The camera works quite well. The doctor and I are quite happy with the images. When it is needed, we receive great service
and applications support has been unbelievably helpful. This camera is
perfect for our cardiology office." Larry Thomas, CNMT and CEO of
Diagnostic Imaging Solutions, Inc. states: "In 13 years of scanning, I have
never seen a system as easy to use. Yet, the quality of the images rival
the most expensive units on the market." Clearly, these affordable units
can provide state-of-the-art imaging technology for the typical
Cardiologist and Oncologist in the office setting.
MEDX, Inc. provides support
and training for operating technicians as well as maintenance & repair personnel as needed
regardless of location. Service Contracts are negotiable in scope
and available upon request. The hardware and software come with a one year
guarantee while the new crystal (3/8" x 15-3/4" installed in each
refurbished unit) comes with a 3 year warranty. Global Intermed and MEDX,
Inc. are prepared to provide you with a complete comprehensive nuclear
imaging system for a fraction of the cost of a PET scanner. Let us know how we can help.
