Lund, Sweden, 2011-10-18 15:58 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Alcyone™, a new technology developed by GE Healthcare, reduces the scanning time for cardiac diagnostics while improving image quality. At the newly opened clinic, Nuklearmedizin Wandsbek Markt where EXINI heart™ already is installed, the new Alcyone™ technology will be used. Together with EXINI heart™ this will provide increased capacity to the clinic by automatic interpretation and automated reports.
The clinic Nuklearmedizin Wandsbek Markt opened in mid-September. Their goal is to become one of the most prominent clinics in Europe within cardiac diagnostics. To achieve this, the clinic has installed the latest technology on the market - Alcyone™ from GE Healthcare. The new equipment enables to reduce the scanning time by up to two thirds, while the radioactive dose can be reduced significantly.
EXINI heart™ has been installed at the clinic and the two systems together provide an increased capacity by automatic interpretation and automated reports in German. EXINI employees will be on location in Wandsbek by the end of October to improve the production flow further.
