Medical facilities, hospitals and clinics in the United States of America use the latest imaging technologies for a wide range of accurate diagnostics. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging is typically utilized by providers specializing in cardiovascular care. This sophisticated technique gives doctors detailed insights on the condition of the heart and all other interconnected components of the cardiovascular system in the human body. For example, PET imaging could diagnose heart disease, atherosclerosis, and other common problems in high-risk people. Special radiotracers and other substances are deployed in the PET scans for optimum visual clarity. The final results could be saved in digital format for easy sharing among medical providers and other authorized people.
Operating and Managing PET Imaging Facilities
A fixed-site PET imaging center must be operated and managed by professional technicians and other medical experts. Some facilities in the USA don’t have enough qualified workers who could successfully operate PET machines and other hardware. Therefore, a fixed site PET imaging center could hire an external company that handles some of the logistical components on a daily basis. Technicians with the appropriate training will be sent to a designated hospital or medical office with fixed PET installations. The scanning machines are also connected to sophisticated software programs that analyze and store all data in real-time. For example, myocardial blood flow software is usually implemented into a fixed site PET imaging center.
