Want CT for your practice, but aren’t sure how to make it happen?

Partners Imaging took a long hard look at the increasing need for physicians groups to bring multi-slice CT diagnostic technology into their practices. We recognized that this process required more than just purchasing the equipment and building out a space for the program to occupy. Among the complex issues related to this venture, aside from capital outlay, were staffing, training, IT support, regulatory compliance and marketing - to name a few.
