Cardiology practices everywhere are adding PET Cardiology to their facilities to help perform Gated Cardiac Perfusion Studies. The recent partnership between Marquis Medical and Wayne Webster, managing director of Diagnostix Plus, offers Cardiology practices the most complete, cost-effective PET Cardiac product on the market.

Together, Diagnostix Plus & Marquis Medical are able to offer a complete turn-key solution ranging from site planning and installation, to physician and technologist training. A perfect example of this is the recent install performed for Valley Cardiology in McAllen, Texas.

Valley Cardiology worked with Wayne Webster to develop a plan to add PET to their Nuclear Medicine Department. The plan was structured to provide a path for Valley Cardiology to follow to success. In just a short time the practice was ready to launch their program and start generating revenue. In charge of the project, Celine Garcia of Valley Cardiology explains:

“With a large operation, such as remodeling the Nuclear Medicine Department to accommodate a PET camera and moving an existing SPECT camera, there are going to be some issues. However, there was always great communication between the staff and myself and the architect. Any questions I had along the way were always answered in timely manner and the staff was professional and helpful. The experience has been positive from all aspects.”

Marquis teams with Diagnostic Plus to provide in-depth post-installation training on operations, applications, and for physicians. Wayne Webster excels at educating the customer/doctors on the benefits of PET Cardiology vs. SPECT (nuclear) Cardiology, and coordinates all technologist and doctor training. This training helps pave the way for a smooth transition. Celine Garcia had this to say about the post installation and training experience at Valley…

“When a question did arise, I called the service numbers and had my question answered. Being able to communicate with the staff at CVIT for technical questions concerning processing has been reassuring. The training experience was painless. The applications staff was thorough in explanation of camera and computer acquisition software.”

Marquis Medical Joins GE Healthcare’s Multi-Vendor Program

For years, GE’s multi-vendor program was unable to include the Siemens PET & PET CT systems. Thanks to a new deal between GE and Marquis Medical, hospitals using a Siemens PET &/or PET CT system can for the first time ever, have only one number to call for service on any of their imaging systems.

Marquis Medical is known as the industry leader in providing pre-owned PET & PET/ CT systems. Primarily known as a service company because of their extensive technical knowledge of the Siemens PET & PET/CT, Marquis Medical is one of the few in the PET marketplace that can offer a TRUE turn-key solution.

GE Healthcare’s multi vendor program is a single source for getting the best performance from all of your imaging equipment from a partner you can trust who delivers.

Marquis now gives GE the ability to offer Siemens PET & PET/CT service thru their Multi-vendor program.

In the past, GE Healthcare was unable to provide Siemens PET & PET/CT service under the Multi-Vendor program because GE could not legally service Siemens PET unless they found a vendor that was trained directly from Siemens, and possessed the OEM system specific training certificates. That vendor is now, Marquis Medical.

Marquis Medical has the necessary training to help GE Healthcare fill this void.  Marquis Medical employs Siemens trained PET engineers and have become known as the #1 alternative to OEM PET & PET/CT service.

Marquis Medical’s Vice President, Joe Sciarra, explains…

“The Multi-Vendor program provides a Hospital one point of contact and one protocol when service is needed on any of their imaging modalities, regardless of manufacturer.

Having one point of contact and one company responsible for the service of all imaging systems makes life much easier for hospital administrators.”

In the PET Service industry, one quality in a service provider trumps all else: reliability.

A perfect example of this is the recent install Marquis Medical performed for Excel Medical Imaging.

Marquis Medical is known as the industry leader in providing pre-owned PET & PET/ CT systems. Primarily known as a service company because of their extensive technical knowledge of the Siemens PET & PET/CT, Marquis Medical is one of the few in the PET marketplace that can offer a TRUE turn-key solution.

Excel Medical Imaging is owned by Board Certified Radiologists that have extensive hospital-based experience in helping patients with diagnostic imaging challenges.

Excel Medical Imaging hired Marquis Medical to install a Siemens Exact 47 PET system. They purchased the system from another vendor, so Marquis was kind of dealing with an unknown prior to installation.

Normally, all systems purchased by Marquis Medical are delivered to their facility and endure an extensive testing and refurbishing process.

Marquis provided site planning as they worked with Excel Medical Imaging’s contractors to assure room readiness prior to delivery of the system. However, when the system arrived, there was a critical problem.

During installation, Marquis Medical found the system’s chiller, a crucial component, was defective. Without the chiller, the system cannot operate. Excel Medical Imaging’s business administrator, Stacy Sharrone, explains…

“During the installation of the PET camera we ran into a snag that could have delayed the installation for many days. The guys at Marquis worked quickly and the problem was resolved that same evening.

Joe, Kyle and the rest of the guys were very professional and very knowledgeable. We’re very happy to have chosen Marquis Medical to perform our installation.”

Marquis Medical quickly provided and installed a new chiller to get them up and running and avoid downtime. Then, they finished up the installation and provided their technologists with the appropriate Applications Training.
