CPIC has begun its work by weighing in on 2024 final payment rules, engaging with stakeholders in the cardiac community, and developing a 2024 policy agenda.

We believe Positron’s PET/PET-CT technology and ability to deliver the best value in the industry will play a key role in the adoption and growth of cardiac PET.  Positron and our team will support and serve the coalition as best as possible for the future of the industry, concluded Mr. Abdullah.”
