Cardiac Imaging – Outpatient Clinic VS Hospital Setting

Improving Access to Imaging Technology

Nuclear cardiology is an advanced method of diagnostic medicine that can mean the difference between life saving treatment and an untimely death. The COVID-19 pandemic has not changed the value of diagnostic imaging, however, it has changed the way patients feel about and view hospitals.

Hospitals are where many cardiac patients go to receive PET scans and other nuclear imaging tests. Unfortunately, for many people, the risk factors directly related to visiting a hospital have risen dramatically due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Most cardiac patients are concerned when they are told they have to visit a hospital for a nuclear imaging procedure. This is likely because the risk of contracting and spreading COVID-19 rises as soon as an individual enters a hospital, where staff are interacting with COVID positive patients every day.

The benefits of nuclear cardiology should not be overshadowed by COVID-19, or any other virus or bacteria. This is why at Cardiac Imaging, Inc. we offer clients an opportunity to improve their practices and reassure their patients by providing mobile cardiac PET clinics, as well as fixed site PET diagnostic imaging.

Offering A Safe Alternative

Providing patients with the option of on site nuclear imaging, such as PET and CT scans, will benefit both your practice and their wellbeing.

At Cardiac Imaging, Inc. our mobile PET clinics allow physicians to order nuclear cardiology tests to a singular, easily maintained location. They can direct their patients to a safe, mobile clinic with trained staff, surfaces that are always sanitized, and no waiting room.

Our mobile nuclear cardiology clinics provide the same quality testing and accurate results you will receive from a hospital, without the heightened risk of infection.

We also offer installation of fixed site PET diagnostic imaging clinics. These state of the art facilities allow physicians to provide a higher level of care to their patients as well as a much quicker study than a traditional stress test. Patients can receive a test without going to a hospital where they will face a greater risk of infection.

Our diagnostic imaging services allow physicians to maintain better control over the quality and cleanliness of the testing facility. We also provide all necessary training and certification processes for staff so physicians can choose members of their own team to conduct all testing.
