How do your services meet a need or satisfy a want for Central Georgians?

Since then, we have worked side by side with referring physicians caring for our patients. We are also proud to be the only center in the area off ering multiple tracers, including the most commonly used tracer, FDG, for metabolically active cancers, as well as specialized tracers for prostate cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, and Alzheimer's disease – helping physicians diagnose and treat patients with greater precision.
