Ifyou'relookingforthebestuptakesystem, designed for patient comfortand easy operation, take a look at theThyroid Uptake System II from AtomicProducts.

It sets newperformancestandardsbecause it is “trulydedicated― to thyroiduptake activity studies.

Operation is simple, and straightforward,thanks to the user friendlymenuselection andlogicalcontrolpaneldesign. All operations and calculationsare handled by a high-speed microprocessor with data displayed on the built-invideo monitor. An optional printer isavailablefor hard copy.

The isotope menuis preselected for7 isotopes(1-123;I-125;1-131;Co-57;Cr-51; Tc-99m; Cs-137), with a manualoverride.

Patient measurements are automatically decay corrected, and it calculatesthe finaluptake percentage. It has amemory capacity for 8 separate patients,3 measurementsper patient.

Thesystemcanbe configuredas afree-standingunit, or used ina tabletopsetting, depending on your needs andpatient requirements.

Since introducing the first digital gamma camera, Elscint has continuallyexpanded and improved imaging protocols and capabilities. Today, 7 millionprocedures later, we offer nuclear medicine's most complete, most time-provenrepertoire of clinical protocols.

With the recent introduction of the Apex SP Series cameras and processors, wenow add the speed and power of 32-bit architecture to all those millions of procedures worth of experience. Elscint's “buildingblock―approach means that all ApexSPs arefully compatiblewith all previous Apex installations. Continuity, connectivity, and upgradeabiity are built in.

Apex SP-1 —the heart ofeveryApex SR With a vast library of proven softwareprotocols, the high-speed Apex SP-1 processor is designed to accommodate theradionuclides of today andto anticipate those of tomorrow.

Apex SP-4, for unsurpassed carcHac capabilities. SP-4 enables all the studiesneeded for a complete cardiac examination, including SPECT Thallium 201, PlanarThallium, Gated SPECT, and RV/LV First Pass.

Apex SP-4HR, for highest spatial resohidon. All the capabilities of the ApexSP-4, plus the highest spatial resolution clinically available.

Apex SP-6, for largest FOV SPECI@. An extra large, 540 x 400 mm camera systemprovides high speed acquisition and processing in a large field-of-view. SP-6 iscapable ofboth SPECT andsingle pass whole body scans.

ApexNet—leading the PMS. All Apex SPsystemsmay be connected to otherApex systems, as well as PC-compatible and VAX®-basedsystems. Networkingprovides immediate access to all data in all systems. Real-time, long-distance casestudy consultations via modem. Rapid transfer of protocols and data bases; intradepartment or around the world.
