"Our relationships with radiopharmaceutical suppliers like NDP are so critical in helping extend our reach and enabling hospitals and practices like Hamilton Cardiology Associates to have leading nuclear medicine software to benefit them and their patients," said Yossi Srour, president and CEO, UltraSPECT. "The successful adoption of low dose at HCA through NDP illustrates the benefits possible when vendors, suppliers and providers align efforts with patient care as the primary goal."
UltraSPECT's WBR is an innovative technology addressing today's concerns about patient radiation exposure and improved image quality. It enhances the performance of existing NM cameras by reducing injected dose, shorting imaging scan time, while maintaining the full level of image quality. The technology, sold as part of the UltraSPECT Xpress.Cardiac™, Xpress3.Cardiac™, and Xpress.Bone™ products, provides a viable method for achieving ASNC's low-dose guidelines stating that the cardiology community limit the total radiation exposure to patients undergoing SPECT/PET myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) tests to an average of less than or equal to 9 mSv (millisieverts) in 50% of studies. Previously, the average was approximately 12 to 13 mSv for stress and rest imaging.
