Is it time for your hospital to consider PET/CT technology?

As you know, PET/CT is a significant breakthrough in diagnostic care, providing both functional and anatomical information in a single image. It's becoming the standard of care for some of the most devastating medical conditions of our time. Consider how it might impact the patients in your care:


Oncology

In Oncology...PET/CT excels in early diagnosis, uncovering valuable information on tumor location, size, and metabolic activity. It assists physicians in differentiating between malignant and benign lesions, identifying recurrences and metastases, and guiding treatment selection and delivery.


Neurology

In Neurology...The predictive power of PET/CT may enable earlier identification and differential diagnosis of neurological disorders.


Cardiology

In Cardiology...PET/CT may offer new insights into heart disease by acquiring data on coronary anatomy, myocardial perfusion, ventricular function, and cardiac viability - all in one, less invasive study. As a result, patients may avoid unnecessary invasive procedures and receive the optimal, tailored treatment sooner.


The imaging director at a community hospital in North Carolina offers this perspective on the clinical value of PET/CT:

"PET/CT has become the standard of care for cancer treatment. What type of message does your organization send if it chooses not to offer this service?... If your patients go elsewhere for PET/CT, what would stop them from going elsewhere for their MRIs and CTs?"
