Dilon Technologies

Dilon Technologies (Booth 9149) is launching a transportable version of the firm’s Dilon 6800 gamma camera, designed to meet the needs of healthcare providers that want to move the camera among different locations.

The transportable camera expands the clinical utility of the Dilon 6800, by providing the flexibility of transporting the camera to areas of need that may not have high enough patient volumes to justify a full-time system, such as small community hospitals.
