At Memorial City and Katy Cardiology, we continue to upgrade our facilities and improve our services to provide our patients with the best care available today. With this mindset, we have recently added Cardiac PET to our arsenal of tests.
Cardiac PET provides us with images that are more clear than a standard SPECT (traditional nuclear stress test) so we can see even better how well your heart functions both at rest and under stress. This allows us to better diagnose your heart disease so we can prescribe the absolute best treatment possible. The medication we use is also kept on site, so we no longer have issues of drug shortages, which have been a significant problem this year (2010) nationwide.
We are the first office in Harris County outside of the Texas Medical Center to obtain a Cardiac PET camera. There are slighly more than 100 Cardiac PET cameras in the United States. Of the nation's top 10 ranked hospitals, all 10 have a Cardiac PET camera.
