PET-CT: Advanced Imaging

New England PET Imaging System is pleased to announce that we have installed a state-of-the-art Siemens Biograph 16-slice PET/CT scanner at our Methuen, MA, facility. By combining the power of Positron Emission Tomography with a 16-slice CT scanner, our new PET/CT offers the latest in diagnostic imaging.

The Biograph PET/CT is used to diagnose and stage cancers, and can help monitor the effectiveness of treatment for each patient. Our new PET/CT can also perform perfusion and viability studies of the heart, as well as advanced neuro imaging for disorders of the brain such as Alzheimer’s disease.

We are proud to say that our new Biograph 16 is the most sophisticated community hospital-based PET/CT scanner north of Boston. It is important to note that this is a fixed facility, on the grounds of Holy Family Hospital. We continue to be available for scanning five days a week, with an emphasis on ease of scheduling, patient comfort, and quality of care.

Our new PET/CT is available for patient scanning. For more information on PET/CT or to schedule a patient scan, please call us at (978) 689-4738. If physicians would like to stop by for a demonstration, or to discuss a specific patient, we are available from Monday to Friday, 8:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M.
