Positron and GE Medical Systems have extended the deadline forPositron to complete its acquisition of GE's PET assets (SCAN7/31/96). The deadline, originally set for the end of last year,has been extended until March 31. Positron, of Houston, TX, saidthe extension enables it to complete regulatory requirements andto finalize its financing package.
In other Positron news, the company last month announced two PETsystem orders: one to a mobile imaging company that will set upa mobile PET route in the Cleveland area, and another to a customerin the New York City area. Positron now has four PET scanner ordersin its backlog.
Also last month, Positron entered a sales and marketing agreementwith Beijing Aerospace Chang Feng Medical Devices, which willsell Positron PET systems in China. Chang Feng is the largestsupplier of CT and MRI scanners in China, according to Positron.
