NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Aug. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Dilon Technologies, the designer and manufacturer of a gamma imaging system optimized for early breast cancer detection, today introduced the Dilon 6800 Access, a transportable version of the Dilon 6800 Gamma Camera designed to meet the needs of customers that want to move the camera between medical centers.
The transportable camera will expand the clinical utility of the Dilon 6800, by providing the flexibility of transporting the camera to areas of need that may not have high enough patient volumes to justify a full-time system -- such as small community hospitals. The flexibility of the new Dilon 6800 Access offers a broad range of added value by enhancing diagnostic capabilities, increasing revenue and controlling costs.
Shared Medical Technology (SMT) in Rice Lake, Wisconsin is the first center to use the Dilon 6800 Access.

Covering a wide variety of diagnostic tests, SMT provides registered/certified technologists and quality services, allowing for the local hospitals to offer the most advanced medical care.
