More than 80 million CT scans are performed every year in the U.S. and more than 2,086,000 clinical PET scans were  performed in 2,370 hospital and non-hospital sites in 2019.

Is 2021 the year you get to buy a PET/CT Scanner? If so, you have a lot of details to consider before making a decision. Our team of experts at Atlantis Worldwide put together this list of questions you should ask before you buy.

Nuclear medicine and molecular imaging are transforming the medical field. So how, exactly, do they work?

Nuclear medicine and molecular imaging are making a huge impact on medicine today, enabling us to view the inner workings of the body and see how it’s functioning. It means imaging isn’t just about diagnosis anymore. Yes, nuclear medicine and molecular imaging are letting us diagnose disease almost at its onset,

If you’ve ever bought a PET/CT Scanner you know it’s a process filled with choices and decisions. How much to do want to spend? How much will you have to spend? Which accessories do you need? Which can you live without?

It’s an amazing achievement in medical imaging, to be sure. But with technology advancing at increasingly impressive speed, we aren’t surprised. However, we are definitely impressed. In less than 60 seconds an

It looks like it’s only a few years away—a portable, wearable PET scan that could be used on the football sidelines (or battlefield or anywhere else) to instantly diagnose whether an injured person has sustained brain damage.  It would be much
easier to use onsite and much less expensive than current technology, which requires a patient to be rushed to the hospital and lie still under a large and heavy PET Scanner.

Since PET/MRIs have hit the scene, there’s been a lot of talk about how they will affect the use of PET/CTs, and whether or not the use of PET/MRIs will take off or not.  Let’s start with the basics about the newer PET/MRI. 

By combining two distinct imaging systems, PET-CT has become one of the most effective imaging procedures available today. PET-CT is an advanced nuclear imaging technique that combines molecular imaging known as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computer Tomography (CT) into one highly sophisticated process.

Since the advent of modern medicine doctors, researchers, engineers and technicians have worked diligently to create better, less intrusive ways to diagnose and heal people. As technology continues to advance exponentially, our ability to refine and redesign the
equipment we use in hospitals and clinics around the world grows.
