Now Offering - - PET/CT Imaging: Providing Answers
Beginning in May of 2007 we will begin offering PET/CT scans on our new Discovery ST scanner from GE Medical Systems. Discovery ST, a two-in-one medical imaging technology, helps your physician quickly determine whether you have cancer, if it's spreading, whether your treatment is working or if there's recurrence.
In one exam, this system generates two essential types of medical images - PET and CT - then merges both into a single information-packed image. Discovery ST helps your physician understand the exact location and extent of your cancer, to develop the most effective treatment plan possible.

Our FASTrack phone pre-registration system enables our patients to conveniently have most paperwork completed prior to the day of their test to diminish waiting times and provide more relaxation.
