National Oncologic PET Registry takes initial enrollment steps
An RSNA attendee registers for the National Oncologic PET Registry (NOPR), which began accepting preregistration at the Chicago meeting.
The registry is part of a compromise agreement between PET imaging proponents and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid to enable Medicare to expand coverage to most PET cancer imaging procedures.
