Primary Care Physician (PCP’s)
PCP’s, in general, are hesitant in referring asymptomatic, healthy patients for CT scans due to the concern for exposure to excessive radiation. Instead - PCP’s refer their customers for MRI scans which are expensive and uncomfortable due to the long time required for MRI scan acquisition. In view of pandemic most of PCP’s are using Tele appointments for primary care. In this context CT scans can serve a useful purpose for assessing a patient's health condition before recommending appropriate therapy for the patient. Algomedica’s PixelShine software capability to denoise noisy CT scans empower PCP’s to refer patients for CT scans without the fear of exposure to radiation.
Knowing the possibilities of obtaining diagnosable quality CT scans while using using substantially low radiation dose - you may consider referring patients to imaging center equipped with the software to offer diagnosable quality CT scans using patient safe low dose CT scan.
