SIMPLIFY THE START-UP

Digirad’s new Cardius® XPO SPECT Camera Series, consisting of the Cardius 1 XPO single-head, Cardius 2 XPO dual-head and the Cardius 3 XPO triple-head, are the only dedicated cardiac systems on the market that feature advanced high-definition solid-state detector (HDSD) technology providing images of superb quality. They also are far more lightweight and compact than conventional designs. To top it off, the systems are portable enabling them to be easily transported and moved into a room as small as 7 X 8 sq. ft. at your office for the day or a portion of the day for imaging. Once the studies are done, it is just a matter of minutes and both our systems and staff are on their way home for the day. The Cardius XPO solid-state systems are reliable and feature open patient-friendly designs that are far less claustrophobic than conventional designs and are able to accommodate patients with large body habitus [up to 500 lbs], easily and comfortably. DIS uses both Cardius and Cardius XPO systems.

CARDIOVASCULAR IMAGING EXPERTISE

DIGIR AD®


Mexico Cardiovascular AssociatesMarvin F. Feldman, MPA/HA/NCTMexico, MO

“I use to have to wait until there was an available spot in the hospital for a patient to undergo an exam. My patients were inconvenienced and so was my workflow. With in-office imaging, the inconvenience is now gone and my image quality is as good as that provided by any other system. I’m much more efficient, my patients are happier and I have more time to spend with them.”

“Our doctors really wanted to cross over from anatomy-only to perfusion studies. Nuclear is the only method that looks directly at perfusion. By doing nuclear cardiology in the office, we improve our workflow and for the patient we circumvent the paperwork and inconvenience of going to a hospital, and that makes the patient very happy.”

“Our patients have responded very favorably to imaging in our office. It’s much, much easier for them to undergo studies...and it spares them the incovenience of having to run around when they need to have imaging done.”
