Expert roundtable to discuss key trends as part of series on Advanced Diagnostic Imaging.
Annapolis, MD, — RadSite™, a leading accrediting organization promoting performance and quality-based imaging practices, announces a new webinar in its fall series on Advanced Diagnostic Imaging. The series focuses on key trends that impact CT, MRI, and Nuclear Medicine (including SPECT, PET and PET/CT). This session will discuss topics including diagnostic and theranostic applications, Artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, reimbursement challenges and opportunities, and more.
The roundtable format provides a dynamic and helpful interactive experience, allowing audience members to ask questions of panel experts as they discuss key trends.
“Nuclear medicine continues to evolve at a rapid pace,” notes Eliot Siegel, MD, RadSite Standards Committee Chair and Professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine Department of Diagnostic Radiology. “I am excited to moderate this roundtable discussion which will cover a broad range of issues impacting diagnostic and theranostic applications.”
“As one of the largest mobile imaging services in the U.S., we have a firsthand perspective of how to leverage nuclear cardiology diagnostic imaging services to ensure point-of-care using qualified SPECT cameras with properly trained staff,” states Angela Graber, Vice President of Operations, Digirad. “During the webinar, I look forward to highlighting some of the challenges and opportunities with making sure the patient gets the right diagnosis at the right time in the right setting.”
“Optimizing quality and safeguarding patient safety is always a top priority for Akumin/Alliance which offers imaging services in over 40 states,” comments Kay Kassel, MS, CNMT, NMTCB(RS), Corporate Radiation Safety Officer, Akumin/Alliance. “Highlighting some of the key changes in the nuclear medicine imaging field should generate a lively interactive discussion.”
