PET developer Naviscan has entered into a sales agreement in which Ledford Medical Electronics will augment Naviscan's U.S. direct sales staff in distributing its positron emission mammography (PEM) scanner.
Ledford Medical Electronics will have an exclusive arrangement with Naviscan to market the PEM system in the U.S. and its related service contracts.
Naviscan manufactures the only commercially available organ-specific PET system with breast biopsy guidance. The scanner uses PET to create tomographic images to visualize breast tumors with a 1.6-mm resolution.
