GE Nuclear Medicine can provide you with Four Quadrant Bar Phantoms for Quality Control for all the above cameras. The CUA (Customer Uniformity Analysis) is a standard Quality Control for the Starcam Family whereas the software for NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) is available for a wide range of our products including the Millennium Family and the Optima NX.For more detailed information please contact us.

Networking Solutions

GE Nuclear Medicine Open Architecture enables our Star Family computers and our GENIE Workstations to be connected together and to other computers like Macintosh or Windows PC. Remote connections for Star Computers and/or GENIE Workstations are also available with low-traffic Modem connections or high-traffic ISDN connections (from GE IT Solutions).
