Stanford (Calif.) Medicine has renewed its research partnership with GE HealthCare to develop new clinical pathways and imaging solutions through the use of total-body PET/CT. 

Through their partnership, Stanford Medicine and GE aim to create the “next generation” of PET/CT scan that will reduce both scan time and the required dose of radiation, according to a June 19 news release from GE.

“PET/CT technology visualizes, characterizes and quantifies biological processes at the cellular level, aiding in early disease identification, detailed assessment and treatment planning,” the release said. “Both institutions believe it has the potential to drive new clinical pathways, expedite the development and translation of new diagnostic and therapeutic agents … and promote enhanced healthcare system efficiency.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
