Inside the Transition of Flow Based Patient Care

The nuclear cardiology department at Ochsner Health System, a New Orleans-­based multi-­ hospital organization with facilities peppered throughout southern Louisiana, is revising its cardiac imaging model and implementing a flow-­based imaging program. Leveraging the Positron Attrius cardiac PET system, the new model is characterized by highly accurate patient diagnosis and treatment and judicious use of healthcare resources. It’s a win-­win proposition, says Robert Bober, MD, director of nuclear cardiology.
