The nuclear radiology section consists of 22,000 sq. ft. of space. The physics area is approximately 1400 sq. ft., radiological research 1200 sq. ft., and the area for small & large animal research/imaging is approximately 6,000 ft. There are 25 examining rooms controlled by nuclear radiology, 10 nuclear radiology staff offices.
Equipment:
The Imaging Department is a PACS-based center with state-of-the-art equipment including seven CT scanners. Our dual source CT scanner allows images to be obtained in 83 milliseconds. There are six 1.5 Tesla MR scanners. Our 3T MR provides advanced MR imaging for clinical and research studies.
There are three dedicated research servers (Dell PowerEdge 1650) and two NAS servers (Maxtor MaxAttach with 640 GB of storage each). All systems are connected directly with the Kodak PACS, nuclear medicine and MRI workstations, via the hospital intranet. The latest clinical software is available on both the Siemens Leonardo and GE Advantage workstations; both of these workstations allow clinical activities. Specialized C++ libraries developed at Cedars-Sinai are available for generic image manipulation, DICOM support and creation of clinical displays. All research computers are connected to the same intranet, and are directly linked to the Kodak PACS, MRI, CT and nuclear workstations.
