A new positron emission tomography (PET) system is the only PET scanner optimized for myocardial perfusion imaging. The scanner has several specialized features that make it suitable for nuclear cardiologists, who value high quality PET imagery and cardiovascular specific interpretation tools, assisting in accurately assessing the patient's condition.

Positron Corp. (Fishers, IN, USA), a molecular imaging solutions company focused on nuclear cardiology, announced the sale of its Attrius PET scanner to Manhattan-based (NY, USA) Gramercy Cardiac Diagnostic Services, owned by cardiologist, Dr. Peter Rentrop.

Joseph Oliverio, chief technology officer of Positron stated, "We are proud to sell Positron's newly released Attrius PET scanner to Dr. Rentrop. We appreciate his confidence in Positron Corp. in purchasing multiple systems to date. Positron has the ideal solution for thousands of cardiology groups looking to improve their diagnostic accuracy at an affordable price.”
