[ RadSafe ] SPECT/CT survey

[John Jacobus]

We currently have a single PET/CT scanner, and four
SPECT cameras.  All of our SPECT images are fused to
separate CT scanners.  

Personally, I think that if you are looking at very
big cost issues here as well as a number on technical
issues involved with such a seclection.  What are you
currently doing now?  How will your patient load
change if you get a SPECT/CT system, e.g., how will
your "put-through" rate change?  Will you need to hire
technologists what can do both SPECT and CT?
