RE: A C-arm machine
That's cool sounding. We don't have a PET scan facility on my job but they rent one occasionally. I would some times see a very big PET trailer outside. I'm think most of their patients are cancer patients.
Not only do they have a PET scan facility but a cyclotron. There probably is one in Baltimore or somewhere within a few hundred miles. Some of the isotopes have such a short half-life that they had to be transported to regional hospitals by plane. It helps a lot that another cyclotron was built in Kuopio 400 km away from Turku.
