"We are excited to introduce the new GE HealthCare Omni Legend PET/CT to our local market," said Dr. David Germain, assistant professor and director of the Division of Pediatric Radiology in the Department of Radiology, USF Health Morsani College of Medicine, and a specialized radiologist in PET/CT at TGH Imaging. "This state-of-the-art scanner will allow us to provide highly efficient and accurate imaging, as well as enable us to accommodate new emerging radiotracers. Our oncologic patients will have access to very precise cancer staging and monitoring."

TGH Imaging's clinical practice consists of 100+ board-certified radiologists who hold additional fellowship training in 11 subspecialties. This additional training allows each physician to focus on their area of radiology expertise, such as women's, neuroradiology, musculoskeletal, cardiac, thoracic, body, pediatric, nuclear medicine, vascular interventional and emergency imaging. They also participate in academic research and teaching through academic affiliations as faculty in the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine.
