Diagnostic tests can be stressful. It takes more than medicine to get the best care; we believe compassion, empathy and joy are important to healing. Actions often speak louder than words, so you’ll notice our difference when you see us smiling, giving hugs, and enjoying working together. We’re committed to making your journey as easy, comfortable and positive as possible.
PET/CT scans are interpreted by some of the most experienced, sought-after PET/CT readers in the country. Our radiologists customize their reports to your specifications and are easily accessible to personally discuss scan results. Customized results packets are delivered to referring physicians within 24-48 hours of the scan. Verbal reports may be offered within hours of scan time for “STAT” patients.
We have five PET Imaging locations.

Medical imaging plays a critical role in diagnosis and treatment planning, but not all scans provide the same information. CT and MRI scans focus on the structure of the body, while PET imaging shows how tissues and organs are functioning at a cellular level.

When your doctor orders a PET scan, it’s natural to have questions. PET imaging plays an important role in helping your care team better understand what’s happening inside your body—so they can make informed decisions about your care.
