What Positron does
Positron Corporation (OTCMKTS: POSC) is a U.S.-based medical technology company founded around 1983–1985 and headquartered in Niagara Falls, New York, with an operational presence in Fishers, Indiana. It develops and sells PET and PET-CT molecular imaging systems purpose-built for nuclear cardiology, with secondary applicability in oncology and neurology. Its product portfolio centers on the Attrius PET (a dedicated cardiac PET scanner with proprietary cardiac software, 30-minute stress/rest protocol, and a compact 15' x 20' footprint) and the NeuSight PET-CT 64-Slice Scanner (a hybrid system with 72cm wide-bore gantry, proprietary IPIE position identification, proprietary respiratory gating, and AI-powered image reconstruction). An upcoming Affinity PET-CT 4D 64-Slice scanner is in development.
The company monetizes through one-time capital sales of PET-CT scanners, bundled multi-year service agreements, and rental/lease-to-own financing programs, supplemented by clinical services including training, physician interpretation support, and billing assistance. Go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise field sales to nuclear cardiology practices and hospitals, augmented by an industry partnership with MedAxiom (announced October 2025) that provides access to a nationwide cardiovascular network. Geographic focus is North America, with stated plans and active CE marking efforts to enter European and Canadian markets.
Operationally, Positron is an early-stage public company. FY2025 net loss exceeded $10M, Q1 2026 revenue was $110,000, and the company has raised approximately $10M in equity in 2025 ($8M in March, $2M in December) on top of a $59.46M market capitalization as of April 2026. It maintains an R&D venture with Shenyang Intelligent Neuclear Technology Co. for technology development. The company reports a headcount of 51–100 employees.

Positron competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Spectrum Dynamics Medical: Specializes in dedicated cardiac nuclear imaging systems (e.g., D-SPECT) and is one of the closest direct peers to Positron in the cardiac molecular imaging niche, competing for the same nuclear cardiology practices.
- Mediso Medical Imaging Systems: Smaller, specialized PET/PET-CT manufacturer with strong nuclear medicine heritage, similar in profile to Positron as a focused PET-OEM targeting cardiology, oncology, and neurology imaging markets.
- Digirad Corporation: Provides mobile cardiac nuclear imaging services and smaller footprint solid-state SPECT; comparable to Positron as a small-cap nuclear cardiology operator with similar customer segments and a service-style business model.
Broad incumbents
- Hitachi Healthcare (FUJIFILM Healthcare): Provides PET and SPECT imaging systems (SceptreP series and SCENARIA) for cardiology and oncology, making it a relevant modality-incumbent peer in nuclear cardiology installations.
- GE HealthCare: Broad incumbent offering PET, PET-CT, SPECT, and integrated imaging suites globally with a much larger installed base and capital budget than Positron; the most direct large-OEM competitor in PET-CT for cardiac, oncology, and neurology applications.
- Siemens Healthineers: Major PET-CT vendor selling the Biograph family of scanners with deep cardiology/oncology/nuclear medicine reach and entrenched service contracts — Positron's most direct head-to-head in the cardiac PET replacement cycle.
- Philips: Operates in molecular imaging through its Philips Healthcare division with PET/CT offerings and global hospital channel relationships, competing for the same cardiology and oncology imaging dollars as Positron.
- Canon Medical Systems: Sells PET-CT scanners and a full diagnostic imaging portfolio (formerly Toshiba Medical) to hospitals and imaging centers, providing multi-modality procurement alternatives Positron must compete against.
Emerging players
- Cubresa: Focused PET insert developer for clinical and preclinical imaging; adjacent to Positron's molecular imaging franchise and useful as a comparable for AI-driven PET technology innovation.
- United Imaging Healthcare: Fast-growing Chinese imaging OEM offering competitively priced PET-CT, MRI, and CT systems with global expansion; comparable to Positron as a newer modality entrant but with broader product breadth and aggressive pricing.
