Molecular Imaging Corp. will provide positron emission tomography (PET) imaging services to Templeton Imaging Medical Corporation Inc.'s imaging center that serves all of San Luis Obispo County, Calif.

The radiology center offers MRI, CT scans, ultrasound, mammography, bone density exams and digital radiography.

MIC CEO Paul Crowe said that Templeton's decision to add PET, "with particular emphasis on the fusion of PET images with that of other imaging modalities, is indicative of the rapidly growing acceptance of PET as an essential tool for physicians intent on providing the best care for their patients."
