“...the Cleveland Clinic has been using the MEDX
NuQuest computer for almost four years and we
have been very pleased with the product. We are
well supported by the applications staff, although
it is very rare that we have any computer problems.
We have had no downtime caused by the
computer... The entire system has met our imaging
and processing needs wonderfully and I would
recommend it to any lab.”

“Prior to purchasing the NuQuest , the uniformity of our
gamma camera was gradually declining to the point of
being unacceptable…The NuQuest upgrade has been
nothing but a miracle in improving uniformity and image
quality. Even our medical physicist noticed the drastic
improvement and has made comments in his quarterly
audits regarding improved uniformity and image quality.”
