PET manufacturer Positron continues to be dogged by cash-flow problems. On July 7, the Houston-based vendor was delisted from the NASDAQ stock exchange, due to noncompliance with NASDAQ's minimum capital and surplus requirements.
Financial difficulties were also cited by the vendor in its decision not to exhibit at the annual meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine meeting in June (SCAN 6/25/97).
