Molecular imaging is no longer the sole purview of well-funded government and academic centers. The 2003 RSNA meeting will showcase a variety of devices, tracers, applications, and services aimed at bringing molecular imaging within range of the outpatient imaging center.
New radiotracers for PET bone imaging are being introduced, as well as modular systems for the creation of on-site radiopharmaceutical production. The latest PET software optimizes PET/CT imaging, and allows the fusion of images from disparate modalities such as CT, MRI, and nuclear medicine.
A support service for PET use at the local level will also be demonstrated. This Web-based tool provides operational, educational, and marketing software applications and collateral designed to bolster a practice’s success in the offering of molecular imaging services.
