Dilon releases software upgrade

Dilon Technologies' newest software update for its Dilon 6800 gamma camera includes enhancements for both breast and general nuclear medicine image processing.

The new software functionalities complement the Slant15 Collimator for breast imaging and the low energy high-resolution (LEHR) collimator for general nuclear medicine applications, both released earlier this year as purchase options for the Dilon 6800 gamma camera, according to Dilon.

Processing protocols for pediatric lung and renal, as well as gallbladder imaging and ejection studies are now standard in the Dilon 6800 software package. The company said that these features help "broaden the versatility of the camera beyond breast, thyroid, sentinel node and spot bone imaging to provide additional high-resolution, organ-specific studies to maximize clinical utility and economic benefit.
