(GEORGETOWN, GRAND CAYMAN, May 28, 2009) --In an intimate gathering at the Marriot Beach Resort in Georgetown, Grand Cayman, Elite Imaging LLC hosted a symposium on state-of-the-art medical imaging modalities currently being offered in the United States. Key topics of discussion included PET/CT [Positron Emission Tomography/Computerized Tomography], recognized as the standard of care in the management of cancer, as well as 3Tesla MRI, the latest in neurologic and orthopedic imaging. These aforementioned modalities are currently not utilized for widespread use in the Caribbean due to both the high cost of equipment and the expertise required for operation.

Elite Imaging LLC, conveniently located in South Florida, servicing the communities of Miami, North Miami, Hollywood, Hallandale, Aventura and Miami Beach, offers these technologies to patients from the Caribbean islands who would not otherwise have access. Elite Imaging LLC has been a premiere provider of services to the Cayman Islands of the Caribbean, including the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Jamaica and Cayman Islands. Elite Imaging LLC has contracts with insurance payers in all of these countries and offers discounted pricing for cash-paying patients.

The ‘Innovations in Medical Imaging’ conference was led by two prominent physicians who spoke on behalf of their expertise in the field of Diagnostic Imaging. Dr. Seza Gulec, a renowned Surgical Oncologist from Florida International University, has been familiar with PET/CT technology for almost a decade. “In this day and age, absolutely no cancer decisions can be made without the results of a full-body PET/CT scan”, said Gulec. He further stated, “The knowledge obtained from a PET/CT study in cancer is exponentially greater than that obtained from a CT scan alone”. On the topic of MRI, Dr. Abner Martin Landry III of Virtual Radiology in Seminole, Florida, addressed the crowd regarding the benefit of 3Tesla MRI over lower field-strength magnets. “The higher resolution of 3Tesla has allowed for clinicians to make more accurate diagnoses than ever before”, proclaimed Landry. “3Tesla MRI has also revolutionized the imaging of breast tissue and therefore allowed for the much earlier diagnosis of breast cancer”, he said.
