GE Healthcare said Sunday it inked a deal with Advanced Cyclotron Systems Inc. to provide high-energy cyclotrons for SPECT and PET project bids in some developing countries.
The Memorandum of Understanding between the two companies lets GE's customers access ACS' TR 24MeV and 30MeV cyclotrons as radioisotope sources, the companies said in an announcement made at the European Association of Nuclear Medicine Congress in Vienna, Austria.
The deal currently applies to countries in the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia, as well as former Soviet republics.
