Toshiba equips new $38 million Pennsylvania medical center

In a few weeks, the Fulton County Medical Center (FCMC) of McConnellsburg, Pa., will complete its new $37.5 million facility, but Toshiba is already providing its diagnostic technologies.

FCMC has installed the Toshiba 64-Slice CT scanner to produce 3D CT imaging, 3D data processing technology and teleradiology systems.

The nuclear imaging isotope shortage of molybdenum-99 may be over now that the sidelined reactor is restarting. ASNC's president says PET and new SPECT technologies helped cardiac imaging labs better weather the storm.

CMS has more than doubled the CCTA payment rate from $175 to $357.13. The move, expected to have a significant impact on the utilization of cardiac CT, received immediate praise from imaging specialists.

The newly cleared offering, AutoChamber, was designed with opportunistic screening in mind. It can evaluate many different kinds of CT images, including those originally gathered to screen patients for lung cancer.
