PET-CT SCANS, MARVELOUS TECHNOLOGY, BUT ARE THERE COST SAVING OPPORTUNITIES? The local situation is that the University of Washington set up its CT-PET Scanner 4 years ago. A second PET-CT Scanner was set at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance 1 year ago. The University has a dedicated PET Scanner for research. There are some 15 different radionucleotides that are quite short lived but are useful for cardiac, metabolic, adrenal and other studies.

Medical Imaging: Is the Growth Boom Over? During the 2000 through 2005 boom in advanced medical imaging, CT grew at an annual rate of 14.3 percent. That growth declined precipitously, however, in subsequent years—from 7.1 percent in 2006 to just 1.4 percent in 2009. This reflects overall trends for medical imaging (Figure 1).

Spiral CT and Helical CT State of the art CT scanners with slip rings can now rotate continuously and do not have to slow down to start and stop. The innovation of the power slip ring has created a renaissance in CT called spiral or helical scanning. These spiral CT scanners can now image entire anatomic regions like the lungs in a quick 20 to 30 second breath hold.
