Merge promotes PET/CT workstation

The Cedara PET/CT workstation was the featured highlight in the Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM) booth of Merge Healthcare.

The workstation takes a radiology approach to PET/CT, and is designed for the growing number of radiologists who are reading PET/CT studies, according to the Milwaukee company. The workstation began shipping in 2005.

A work-in-progress application that Merge highlighted is Cedara I-Response, a tumor tracking feature that Merge also demonstrated at the RSNA and American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO) meetings last year. I-Response can generate quantitative calculations of functional measurements in fMRI studies, and the company believes it can be expanded to SPECT or PET studies in the future.
