Advances in PET/CT Imaging:

Advanced Radiology is excited to now provide Sodium Fluoride PET/CT studies at all of our PET/CT locations. This is a new, state-of-the-art technology, that is superior to conventional bone scans. It is designed specifically for detecting bone metastases.

• Higher sensitivity and specificity than conventional bone scans.
• Superior image quality with higher spatial resolution.
• Detects both osteoblastic and osteolytic metastases.
• Higher accuracy in differentiating benign from malignant lesions.
• More easily tolerated by patients. Shorter waiting time (45 minutes vs. 3 hours). 
      Shorter scanning times.
• With the addition of CT as part of the study most of the time, no further imaging is required
      (X-rays, MRI).

• The PET Center at BWMC
• Medical Arts Building at Franklin Square
