Digirad exhibits mobile triple head gamma camera

Digirad Corp. displayed a prototype of its all-in-one, mobile triple head cardiac gamma camera at this week's American College of Cardiology Conference, March 6 - 8, in Orlando, Fla.
   
The Cardius-3M AIO is the mobile prototype of Digirad's high performance Cardius-3 imager. The prototype's all-in-one chassis supports the camera, chair and acquisition processing station on a single frame, Digirad said. The system is designed for exclusive use by Digirad Imaging Solutions (DIS), Digirad's imaging leasing services division.
