Clinical Impact
- Providing information to cardiologists to help them eliminate unnecessary diagnostic cardiac catheterizations to focus on revascularization therapies.
- Ability to do more percutaneous coronary interventions in the cath lab during the same time period.
Operational Impact
- Ability to re-task the cardiac catheterization lab to focus on revascularization therapies for better efficiency.
- Improved clinical accuracy supports cardiac PET volumes of 16-17 patients per day in a 10-hour period, which maintains a profitable service line.
