Auburndale, Mass., January 25, 2016 – UltraSPECT Inc., a leading provider of multi-vendor, low-dose image processing technology for nuclear medicine, has marked the 450th software package installation in the USA. The milestone was reached as Firelands Regional Medical Center, Sandusky, Ohio, acquired Xpress3.Cardiac™ imaging solution to reduce radiation exposure for patients and staff and meet the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) dose-reduction guidelines.
UltraSPECT's installation at Firelands Regional Medical Center was part of HeartSafe Imaging™ initiative introduced by Ohio-based radiopharmaceutical provider HeartLight Pharmacy Services to help nuclear medicine facilities reduce SPECT radiation exposure and minimize scan time for patient comfort. HeartLight Pharmacy Services offers UltraSPECT products to nuclear medicine imaging facilities as part of its supply agreement.
"Partnering with UltraSPECT allowed us to help our customers deliver a low-dose, safer cardiac imaging solution," said Laura Meyer, Sales and Marketing Manager, HeartLight Pharmacy Services. "Firelands Regional Medical Center is now providing the reduced dose and reduced time cardiac scans, making the imaging service safer for both patients and staff, and that can be seen as a true differentiator in the marketplace."

The Heart Center at Firelands Regional Medical Center offers a broad range of advanced cardiac services, including nuclear cardiology scans. It is also accredited in heart failure, is a certified chest pain center, and is an American Heart Association Mission Lifeline heart attack receiving center.
"UltraSPECT has given us the ability to reduce radiation exposure to both staff and patients, while providing a superior image quality," said Chad Baldosser, Lead Nuclear Medicine Technologist at Firelands Regional Medical Center.
Xpress.Cardiac allows cardiac imaging to be performed at half time or half dose thanks to UltraSPECT's innovative reconstruction algorithms technology, Wide-Beam Reconstruction (WBRTM). The WBRTM image processing software for nuclear cardiac and oncology imaging addresses the clinical need for significant reduction in injection dose and shortened scan times, boosting patient safety, throughput and comfort without sacrificing image quality and diagnostic confidence. At a fraction of the cost of a brand new camera, UltraSPECT also provides one of the most cost-effective solutions to the nuclear medicine market.
