Digirad Corp. has released a mobile nuclear gamma camera with a single detector dedicated exclusively to cardiac imaging called Cardius-1M system.

The system is designed so that physicians can move the imager to multiple office locations. It permits the delivery of cardiac imaging procedures in both the physician office and hospital settings, said the Poway, Calif.-based company.

The Cardius-1M system is designed for compatibility with other Cardius series imagers, enabling customers to upgrade to new technology enhancements as they become available. The Cardius-1M can be upgraded to a Cardius-2, Digirad's stationary, dual-head system.
