Pet Registry

Florida Open Imaging Centers announces our participation in the National Oncologic PET Registry (NOPR). This means that more of our patients could benefit from the advantages of a PET-CT Scan. Currently covered diagnoses include, but are not limited to: Solitary Pulmonary Nodule, Lung Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Melanoma, Lymphoma, Head and Neck Cancer, Esophageal Cancer, Breast Cancer, Thyroid Cancer, Cervical Cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease. The objective of the NOPR is to assess the effect of PET-CT on referring physician’s plans of intended patient management for those cancers and indications not currently eligible for reimbursement from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (see chart of eligible indications below).
