Radiology - University Heights Advanced Imaging Center

The University Heights Advanced Imaging Center features a GE Discovery LS PET/CT Scanner and a Siemens MAGNETOM Allegra 3T MRI system.

The PET (positron emission tomography) scanner facilitates accurate, non-invasive diagnosis, staging, and treatment of cancer, and identification of diseases of the heart and central nervous system.

Investigative studies and extensive clinical practice have demonstrated that PET is the most sensitive test to detect and stage malignant conditions including: Solitary Pulmonary Nodule, Lung Cancer, Head and Neck Cancers, Colorectal Cancer, Esophageal Cancer, Melanoma, Lymphoma, and Breast Cancer.

Combining PET with CT provides greater accuracy for the scanning, thereby reducing overall scan duration and patient discomfort, and allows performance of a diagnostic CT exam during the same patient visit, if needed.

The Siemens MAGNETOM Allegra 3T MRI system is the Ultimate Brain MRI Machine and includes innovative features for state of the art imaging.
