Cardiac PET Solutions for Independent Practitioners

The Purpose of Cardiac PET/CT Testing

Using a small amount of radioactivity, a cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) scan images the heart muscle, efficiently detecting signs of coronary artery disease. Practitioners find cardiac PET/CT particularly helpful – providing improved diagnostic accuracy, increased efficiency, and less radiation exposure as compared to current modes of nuclear stress testing (SPECT imaging).

Cardiac PET/CT is especially beneficial when the patient has a high BMI, breast implants, excess chest wall tissue, or pericardial or pleural effusions.

This technology includes the latest hybrid PET/CT systems and the ability to perform Myocardial Blood Flow (MBF) scans, used to detect decreased blood flow, and cardiac PET/CT viability scans, used to distinguish cardiac muscle damage for scarring. Scan images provide accurate pre-treatment information to both cardiologists and cardiac surgeons. Additionally, follow-up cardiac PET/CT can be used to assess whether the treatment is providing the expected benefits.

Convenient Cardiac PET/CT for Everyone

While cardiac PET/CT is quickly becoming the accepted standard of care for myocardial perfusion imaging and pre-surgical evaluation, it must be accessible to be useful. Patients often resist testing when they have to travel to other facilities, deal with additional insurance claims, and wait for outpatient test availability. Cardiac Imaging, Inc., the nation’s leading provider of turnkey clinical molecular imaging solutions, can help eliminate this resistance – improving the quality of care your patients receive.

We offer an array of service models to fit the needs of any size practice — in any location. Meeting your practice needs and business growth expectations, we leverage proven processes and technology to enable you to provide patient-centered care.

Accessible Mobile PET Imaging

If you’re an independent cardiologist, you may find yourself at a loss when it comes to providing safe and convenient cardiac PET imaging services to your patients. Our dedicated team at Cardiac Imaging, Inc. can help you ensure your practice has the newest scan technology at your fingertips, eliminating the need to refer your patients to a distant or less-than-stellar off-site facility.

With our state-of-the-art mobile PET imaging technology, you can rest assured your patients will receive the highest quality services available without having to drive long distances or risk infection in a hospital setting.

Fixed-Site Cardiac Imaging Solutions

As an independent practitioner, you may find yourself at a disadvantage when it comes to offering convenient testing options to your patients. Just as having an on-site lab can help improve the quality of care you are able to provide, on-site scan technology will allow you to accurately diagnose and monitor your cardiac patients without having to send them to another facility.
