Prostate cancer is the leading cancer among men, second only to skin cancer. With surgical removal at the frontline of defense, oncologists are considering prostate-specific molecular imaging at the point of initial biopsy and pre-operative planning to root out the full extent of disease, researchers revealed at the 2016 Annual Meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI).

Founded by a small group of radiologists in 1968, Radiology Imaging Associates P.C. has played a role in shaping the practice of radiology – both in its own community and around the world. Since its inception, RIA has been a pioneer in the use of technology. For example, in the late 1970s, it was the fifth organization in the U.S. to purchase a CT scanner. Twenty years later, it was one of the first radiology practices in the region to implement PACS and RIS systems, as well as virtual reading rooms, which enabled it to easily provide 24 hours/day, seven days/week coverage for the hospitals and physicians it serves.
