Video Transcription

Video Summary

This webinar was hosted by Ashi Heart and Vascular in collaboration with GE Healthcare and MedAxion. The title of the webinar was "Utilizing Novel Digital PET-CT Technology to Elevate Cardiac Patient Care." The presenters discussed the benefits of using PET-CT technology for cardiac imaging, including increased accuracy, shorter scan times, and the ability to detect incidental findings. They explained the process of a PET scan, from the patient arriving at the clinic to the scanning procedure itself. They also discussed the advantages of the OmniLegend, a 128-slice CT scanner, which provides high-definition images and has AI capabilities. The presenters highlighted how this technology can improve patient care by providing more accurate diagnostic results and facilitating treatment decisions. They also mentioned that the facility is able to handle high patient volumes by carefully scheduling appointments and having a team of trained technologists. Finally, they discussed the potential impact of F-18-based cardiac applicants on cardiovascular metabolism, as well as the use of CT scans to inform treatment strategies for calcified coronary lesions.
