Acist Medical/Bracco Diagnostics (Booth 1235) is displaying CardioGen-82 and Isovue.

CardioGen-82 (Rubidium Rb 82 Generator) is a generator-based myocardial perfusion agent that is useful in distinguishing normal from abnormal myocardium in patients with suspected MI. With the generator, defects are visualized 2-7 minutes after injection and the same-sized dose can be used at stress and rest due to short T½.

Isovue (iopamidol injection) is a nonionic contrast medium, providing a range of iodine concentrations and packaging options. Isovue Multipack Pharmacy Bulk package offers multi-dosing efficiency in 200 mL and 500 mL volumes. Isovue Prefilled Syringes for use with the Medrad injection systems provide efficient contrast media use and administration convenience.
