Alliance Imaging will be providing the service, which includes transporting the PEM scanner from site to site, a technologist to perform the scan, 18F-FDG and will cover a variety of hospitals, imaging centers and dedicated breast centers throughout the state of Florida.

PEM scanners manufactured by Naviscan are breast PET systems that can show the location as well as the metabolic phase of a lesion, said the company, based in San Diego.
