A little about the medical imaging technology patients receive here at Northern California PET Imaging Center for their exams.

We’re now using - on all patients - revolutionary “digital PET imaging” - which allows quicker exams for patients with more exam precision for care teams.

For those unfamiliar, positron emission tomography ( ) imaging was developed about 40 years ago and was widely unchanged until recently - from detectors to imaging detectors. (Similar to cameras).

The digital innovation in PET technology brings tremendous clinical and patient improvements:

•Improved exam sensitivity and specificity (resulting in more precise exams)
•50% less patient “table time”
•quicker imaging
•Increased patient exam comfort
•safer imaging for exams
•“Grain-of-rice” 2.9 mm image precision

NCPIC has been pioneering molecular PET imaging since 1992 working closely with , and more to support their care teams.

This technology is now available in Northern California at our Sacramento and Rocklin locations.

The team at Northern California PET Imaging Center (NCPIC) is incredibly passionate about imaging!

That passion is reflected in our Medical Director, Dr. DAFANG Wu who quite literally wrote the textbook on clinical nuclear medicine neuroimaging (and is available here at https://a.co/d/1i5rdZR).

We are grateful for Dr. Wu’s contribution, dedication and leadership to his field, and thankful his expertise is being installed to support Northern California care teams as a clinical expert.

His national expertise helps position NCPIC as a clinical leader, ensuring patients and care teams across Northern California receive the most precise and timely diagnoses, all within a trusted, expert community environment.

Congratulations!

The Northern California PET imaging team thanks the brilliant California State Assemblyman atterson for visiting our expert imaging center in the

It was a special visit, as Mr. Patterson sits on
the State of California Health and Consumer Protection committee, so we spoke on access, oncology and dementia innovation.
Also spoke about reducing care cost burdens for the estimated 136,000 high-deductible insurance patients in his assembly District 5.

Appreciate the visit!

NCPIC looks forward to your continued excellent work in California and beyond.

(The PET community thanks for your policy efforts in the early 2000’s also!)

I’m inviting you to join us to the beautiful Market (about J & 20th) for a collaborative fundraiser supporting - Keaton’s child Cancer Alliance.

For those not familiar, Keaton’s raises funds for kids facing cancer through financial aid, care navigation, and Hope Chests.

The ranked this farmers market as the BEST in California - so visit our farmers by buying produce & support the kids on a beautiful Saturday morning event.

Look for the crew and the “aerial circus” - ages 5 to age 18 - who are supporting the cause about 10:00 am with “silks” aerial performances.

Keatons supports children and families originating at the Sutter Health (Roseville), Kaiser Permanente, and UC Davis Health - so please “like and share” this post to help build awareness. (NCPIC works with the adults on cancer imaging).

See some photos & the NCPIC team will see you tomorrow!

Going through a challenging diagnosis is never easy — which is why we’re especially grateful for the kind feedback patients have shared about their experience at Northern California PET Imaging Center.

As a nonprofit, expert imaging center, we’re proud to support care teams with access, compassion, and clinical expertise. Thank you for trusting us.

The team at Northern California PET Imaging Center (NCPIC) wanted to share a visual of a key dementia biomarker that many care teams might not have visualized previously, called the score.

See attached photos.

The Centiloid score plays a key role in guiding “anti-amyloid treatment” decisions. A score of approximately 25 is typically used to initiate therapy, while a score near 11 may indicate a threshold to pause or discontinue treatment.

Many academic or regional centers aren’t yet using this standardized measurement - so we wanted to help visualize this new unit of measurement. Common medications used today to treat amyloid burden in patients include and .

Please reach NCPIC for any further questions.
