The Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare approved applicationsfor ADAC's Vertex Plus, Solus, and Cardio nuclear imaging systems.The ministry also cleared Molecular Coincidence Detection, ADAC'shigh-energy imaging technique.
Vertex Plus is ADAC's premium variable-angle camera, Solusis a fixed 180° dual-head optimized for oncology, and Cardiois a fixed 90° dual-head system devoted to cardiology.
The approval of MCD was the first of its kind for a high-energyimaging system in Japan, according to ADAC officials. ADAC's optionalMCD feature enables Vertex and Solus gamma cameras to performcoincidence-based fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) imaging with a SPECTcamera.
