Industry trade group Medical Imaging and Technology Alliance (MITA) has expanded to include the radiopharmaceutical industry.
The radiopharmaceutical industry will work with established equipment member companies within MITA to form the PET Working Group, according to MITA of Arlington, VA.
MITA said the new group will focus on improving the regulatory environment for the approval of imaging agents, expanding public insurance coverage of these agents to ensure that patients have access to these tests, conducting research to broaden the evidentiary base of cost-effectiveness for PET imaging, and educating the medical community about the appropriate use and value of these techniques.
