Mobile P.E.T. buys seven GE scanners

Five of seven GE PET Advance scanners purchased by Mobile P.E.T. Systems will travel thousands of miles around the U.S. as systems are placed in Northern and Southern California, Ohio, Florida, and Texas.
The two remaining positron emission tomography units will go to states currently in negotiation with the San Diego-based company, said Jill Janek, Mobile P.E.T. Systems marketing official.
The system going to Texas will serve an area where patients cant reach a PET center unless they drive three hours, said John Relic, CEO of the Austin Radiological Association.
GE Medical Systems introduced its first mobile PET camera at last years RSNA show. Mobile P.E.T. has purchased the machines in a lease financing agreement worth $12 million.
In December of last year, GE placed more than 100 Advance PET systems worldwide. The company expects to double that figure this year, said Beth Klein, general manager of GEs global nuclear/PET business (SCAN 12/15/99).
If Mobile P.E.T. is satisfied with the performance of the Advance, it will consider adding more GE scanners to the fleet, Janek said.
Mobile P.E.T. Systems provides shared PET services to hospitals and other healthcare providers on contract. The firm unveiled its first mobile cardiac unit in March (SCAN 2/28/00). The GE scanners do not measure cardiac activity, Janek said.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
