Positron is positive that its imaging systems can figure out what's wrong with you. The company makes positron emission tomography (PET) scanners under the POSICAM and mPower trade names. The scanners are primarily used to detect coronary artery disease but also have applications in neurology and oncology. Medical centers such as the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston and the Heart Center of Niagara use the system; the company has an installed base of about 30 systems in the US and abroad. Subsidiary IS2 Medical Systems (acquired in 2006) makes nuclear imaging devices, including the PulseCDC cardiac gamma camera.
