Partnership to Develop Cardiac PET

(IMGM, Oakbrook, IL, USA) has entered into an agreement with PET Management Services (PMS, Niagara, NY, USA) to pursue molecular imaging partnerships.

PET Management Services is a developer of molecular imaging systems that bring to IMGM, formerly known as Cipher Multimedia, Inc., the necessary bioinformatics research and imaging center management that validates the usefulness of positron emission tomography (PET) as a primary coronary diagnostic tool.

PMS enables Imagin Nuclear Partners (INP), Imagin Molecular's subsidiary, to provide dedicated evidence-based medical systems for cardiac disease diagnostics and treatments driven by bioinformatics. PMS has data that demonstrate cost-savings to insurance companies when cardiac PET is performed on selected patients as a first-line modality rather than single photon computed tomography (SPECT) scans.

PMS will partner with INP and will operate joint ventures with PET imaging centers. INP is a full-service joint venture molecular imaging partner that will own, operate, and administer out-patient medical diagnostic imaging centers that utilizes PET and PET/CT scanning equipment.

Joe Oliverio, president of PET Management Services stated, "We have one of the most robust cardiac PET patient databases and are preparing to publish manuscripts that will revolutionize the way coronary disease detection and management is performed for decades to come.”
