Diagnostic Center for Disease Features MRIS Technology from GE

The Diagnostic Center for Disease has announced the grand opening of its world headquarters in Sarasota, FL is scheduled for December 2006. The center offers advanced detection imaging technology and interpretation for prostate disease while featuring a 3.0 Tesla Signa HD-X Magnetic Resonance Imaging Spectroscopy (MRIS) scanner from GE Healthcare. The signature "Prostascan" image technology will provide a unique biochemical "finger print" of cancerous tissue (when present) as it evaluates the by- products of metabolism at the prostate cellular level.
"In effect, with my clinical experience, this scan will help us decode the disease, enabling better decisions and better treatment outcomes," states Dr. Ronald Wheeler, urologist and medical director for The Diagnostic Center for Disease.
