Positron partners with Upbeat Cardiology Solutions to improve cardiac PET/CT access
Positron Corporation, a New York-based nuclear imaging company, has agreed to supply New Jersey-based Upbeat Cardiology Solutions with its full portfolio of PET/CT systems and services.
Upbeat Cardiology Solutions specializes in helping healthcare providers transition to cardiac PET/CT imaging, assisting with everything from equipment acquisition and installation to employee training. The company will now be able to offer Positron’s NeuSight PET-CT 64 slice scanner, which was designed to provide advanced digital signal processing and optimal patient comfort while reducing radiation exposure.
“Upbeat Cardiology Solutions excels in integrating advanced nuclear cardiology technology into practices and this collaboration is a strategic step forward in broadening access to our PET/CT technology and clinical services for all cardiology practices,” Adel Abdullah, president of Positron Corporation, said in a prepared statement. “Our NeuSight PET-CT 64 slice is an ideal solution to meet the rising demand for superior diagnostic tools in cardiac imaging. With Upbeat’s robust logistics and support services, we’re empowering practices to enhance patient care while optimizing their operations.”
“As a leader in innovation and turnkey solutions in the nuclear cardiology space we see our partnership with Positron as a step closer to our goal of bringing access of care to cardiology practices nationwide,” added Patric O’Keefe, president of Upbeat Cardiology Solutions. “Through this partnership we have another avenue to bring high-end technologies into affordable camera lease and purchase options, overcoming a major cost obstacle and opening the door to cardiac practices of all sizes.”
Positron provides nuclear imaging modalities such as PET and PET/CT to cardiology and oncology specialists throughout the United States. In October, the company launched a rental program for providers seeking advanced imaging capabilities without the budget to purchase an entire PET or PET/CT system. The all-inclusive rentals cost users a monthly fee.
