Naviscan has obtained CE mark approval for its high-resolution PET scanner and PET-guided biopsy accessory. The breast application of the scanner is Positron Emission Mammography (PEM).

The San Diego-based company has expanded its distribution into 13 European countries and has received orders in Germany and Switzerland.

The scanner with PET-guided biopsy system uses PET technology to produce tomographic images that allow physicians to visualize breast tumors with a resolution of 1.6 mm.
