PETNet launches PET/CT University

Jun 21, 2004

PHILADELPHIA - PETNet Solutions has introduced an interactive Web-based educational resource, PET/CT University.

The training resource is designed for interpreting physicians, referring physicians, and technologists, according to the Knoxville, TN-based firm, which is a subsidiary of PET developer CTI Molecular Imaging. With the tool, PET providers have access to more than 180 PET/CT cases.

Each case focuses referring and interpreting physicians to a specific teaching point in order to improve knowledge of the combined modality, PETNet said.

PET/CT University case studies start with the order for the PET scan, patient history, previous imaging studies, the PET scan and interpretation, pathology reports, treatment and follow-up options, and reference articles that support the use of PET/CT for each specific procedure and disease state, according to the firm.

In related news, PETNet has launched a training seminar for marketing PET services to oncologists. The program provides a PET practice's marketing personnel with education on the appropriate utilization of PET necessary to insert the modality into the clinical management of an oncologist's practice.
