MoreNew England PET Imaging System was established in April 2000 as New England's first community hospital-based provider of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) services. Our mission is to provide patient-focused care in a personal and friendly setting, offering the highest levels of medical care and quality service. This is evidenced in New England PET being accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR). All of our facilities operate state-of-the-art Siemens PET/CT scanners. Since opening in April 2000 we have performed over 20, 000 studies covering a very broad range of clinical indications. New England PET Imaging System has five sites to serve the needs of patients within the region: Massachusetts Mobile PET, P.C., at Anna Jaques Hospital (PET/CT) in in NewburyportMA Massachusetts Mobile PET, P.C., at Merrimack Valley Hospital (PET/CT) in in HaverhillMA All of New England PET Imaging System sites participate in the National Oncologic PET Registry (NOPR). Under the PET Registry, essentially all cancers and indications are covered for Medicare patients. (See this page for both html and pdf versions of the table of covered cancers and indications.) About PET PET is a breakthrough medical imaging technology. While tests such as CT and MRI provide information on anatomy and structure, PET examines metabolic process within the body. By focusing on the biochemistry of organs and tissues within the body, PET can often detect disease before anatomic changes result and which become evident on conventional imaging tests such as CT, MRI, or X-ray. PET/CT combines in one single study the functional information of PET with the anatomical information provided by a CT scan. This PET/CT information will enable your physician to pinpoint the exact location of interest and helps in making an accurate diagnosis. PET/CTs received wide clinical acceptance for a variety of clinical applications in oncology (cancer care), cardiology, and neurology. This is further reflected in the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) ongoing expansion of Medicare coverage for PET/CT for the early detection, staging, and monitoring of disease.
