  • Diagnostic Achievements

    The first in Alaska to offer (PSMA) prostate-specific membrane antigen imaging

    PSMA is a precise imaging target that can help detect Prostate Cancer. We introduced lluccix as an advanced imaging tracer that is used in conjunction with a positron emission tomography (PET) scan to detect cancer cells in the body.
