How does Phelps’ new PET/CT scan offer local patients an even higher standard of cancer care?
One of today’s most sophisticated diagnostic tools, this combined scan helps us find the location of the cancer at a very early stage. We also use it to see how patients respond to treatment, and to see more accurately if cancer is back. What’s more, our state-of-the-art PET/CT imaging suite was designed above all for patient comfort. When faced with a cancer diagnosis, Westchester patients needing cutting-edge PET/CT imaging can avoid the added stress of travel. Now the highest-level diagnostic equipment is just minutes away.
What special benefits do Phelps and Northern Westchester Hospitals' connection to Northwell Health offer Westchester cancer patients?
Cancer specialists from both Phelps and Northern Westchester Hospital are part of the largest healthcare system in New York State with more than 200 doctors specializing in nearly every type of cancer. If a patient has an uncommon condition requiring a unique subspecialist, we can consult in minutes with a Northwell Health Cancer Institute colleague. Northwell treats more New Yorkers diagnosed with cancer than any other healthcare provider in the state. If our patient needs care at another Northwell Health hospital, transition of care happens within the same system and without delay. Very importantly, Northwell’s ongoing research and clinical trials let us offer cancer patients the newest leading-edge treatments.
