3 Things you should consider before scheduling an PET/CT Exam...
Why does equipment matter?
The quality and resolution of the PET/CT images are important for accurate diagnosis or evaluation from a referring physician. In addition, you want to get the lowest amount of radiation necessary. The Discovery MI DR PET/CT scanner can reduce CT dose by up to 82 percent at the same image quality in routine imaging across applications.
Patient Experience
Getting a PET/CT Exam can be overwhelming. The exam can last between 15 – 30 minutes and If you have ever been in a still position for this long, you will know that it can quickly get frustrating if you are not comfortable or at ease. Patient comfort is one of our utmost priorities. We address this through ambient controls, soothing music, and the most comfortable equipment options available.
Exam Results
If you are in need of a PET/CT exam it is because a referring physician has requested it or you would like to evaluate if there are any abnormalities or problems in an area of your body. You should make sure that the results of the exam itself are accurate and professionals interpreting those results are experienced and thorough. We pride ourselves on the quality of exams we perform and our talented Radiologists..

Wow! Truly great experience. Usually I dread getting an MRI! Staff and technician are awesome. Went there because they had a 3T MRI, which doctor recommended. Exam itself was fast and actually soothing. Relaxing music and cool ambient lighting. Quick turnaround on the results too. Overall, 5 well deserved stars!
