·
Education Resources –
The site makes it easy for the PET imaging community to stay on top of imaging trends and continuing education requirements. It provides registered users with access to approximately 40 web-based continuing education courses on topics ranging from low energy and high energy imaging operations and radiation safety to regulatory compliance and reimbursement. The site also features compliance resources and information that helps technologists limit exposure to radiation and ensure they’re in compliance with all relevant safety regulations. Visitors can also access an array of complementary live and archived webinar sessions on industry topics, led by industry experts.
·
Reimbursement information –
Reimbursement guidelines for PET products and procedures change
frequently, as rates are updated annually to reflect new clinical uses. At PETFoundations.com, imagers, referring physicians, and others in the healthcare community can sign up for eNews, a timely e-mail notification that provides updates on PET reimbursement and more. Site visitors can also access PET reimbursement guides.
·
Practice management and business tools –
