The Medical Imaging and Technology Alliance (MITA) has released its Demonstrating Excellence Through Advanced Imaging Learning (DETAIL) program, which provides resources for physicians and patients to learn about PET scans.
Available for download at MITA's website, the educational and informational kits are organized into three sections: tools designed for use by physicians administering PET scans, including case studies, imaging guidelines, algorithms, and reimbursement information; materials that can be distributed to and used by referring physicians; and educational material for use with patients.
The first three DETAIL kits available for download include a referral education kit for cardiac PET, a referral education kit for oncologic PET, and an interpretation resource kit for oncologic PET. Future additional kits are planned, MITA said.
