A REASON TO BELIEVE.
TO BRUCE ANDERSON, UNIVERSITY’S POSITRON EMISSION SCANNER WAS MORE THAN STATE-OF-THE-ART MEDICAL IMAGING TECHNOLOGY. AFTER BEING DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER LAST YEAR, BRUCE AND HIS PHYSICIAN TEAM RELIED ON THE PET SCANNER TO MONITOR HIS RESPONSE TO TREATMENT. FOR BRUCE, THE PET SCANNER WAS A REASON TO BELIEVE. THE TRUTH IS, HIS POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND DETERMINATION HAVE MADE BELIEVERS OUT OF US AS WELL.
A LIFESAVER.

THE TECHNICAL NAME IS SLIGHTLY LONGER. WE CALL IT THE ALL-DIGITAL CARDIOVASCULAR IMAGING SYSTEM. AND IT’S THE MOST SOPHISTICATED DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT OF ITS KIND.

THE RESULT IS A MORE ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS, MORE EFFECTIVE TREATMENT PLANS AND, FOR AMY BROOKS, ANOTHER SHOT AT LIFE.
