IS2 launches new PulseCDC compact digital cardiac camera

IS2 Medical Systems Inc. last week week introduced its new PulseCDC compact, digital cardiac camera to the nuclear medicine market.

IS2 says the PulseCDC can fit into an office as small as 6.5 feet by 9.5 feet and offers an upright chair position for easier patient loading. In the fully reclined bed position, supine or prone imaging is possible in either 180 degrees or 360 degrees.

The camera also has a field-of-view of 15 inches by 10.2 inches, and a bed capacity of 450 pounds. The system itself weighs 1,850 pounds and able to fit through 32 inch doorways, installation generally requires no renovations.

The PulseCDC is FDA 510(k)-cleared and IS2-warranted for use in mobile coaches.

The nuclear imaging isotope shortage of molybdenum-99 may be over now that the sidelined reactor is restarting. ASNC's president says PET and new SPECT technologies helped cardiac imaging labs better weather the storm.

CMS has more than doubled the CCTA payment rate from $175 to $357.13. The move, expected to have a significant impact on the utilization of cardiac CT, received immediate praise from imaging specialists.

The newly cleared offering, AutoChamber, was designed with opportunistic screening in mind. It can evaluate many different kinds of CT images, including those originally gathered to screen patients for lung cancer.
