Cardiac PET Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI) is a Medicare approved first line test for non-invasive cardiology evaluation that is projected to grow over 60% in the next 5 years.1
Cardiac PET is rapidly being adopted and it’s not a matter of if cardiac PET is coming, it is a matter of when. It is a powerful, non-invasive imaging tool available now that can assess myocardial blood flow (MBF) of the entire coronary circulation and has been demonstrated to be useful in the assessment of microvascular and triple vessel disease. Microvascular disease is known to be highly prevalent in women, as well as patients with cardiometabolic risk factors.2

ION-12SC CYCLOTRON SYSTEM
Compact Cyclotron Technology
The backbone of the IONETIX N-13 Ammonia solution is a superconducting compact cyclotron. Featuring a patent-protected design based on superconducting magnets, the ION-12SC compact cyclotron has a substantially smaller footprint than traditional cyclotrons making installation on or near medical campuses more attainable than ever before. The compact cyclotron ensures a consistent and reliable radiopharmaceutical at the point-of-care and provides you with complete control of patient testing schedules.
