The Diagnostic Imaging
Facility Turn-key Service by MSO
MSO can help you with everything you need to start a
new diagnostic testing facility. Our specialty is in
diagnostic cardiology however we successfully
incorporate the following modalities in our facilities:
- Nuclear Stress Testing and general nuclear imaging
- Echocardiography and general ultrasound
- Ultra Fast Computerized Tomography
- Bone densitometry (DEXA)
What is a diagnostic imaging
facility?
By procuring diagnostic equipment, assembling the
technical know-how to operate it, the staff to run it
and the passion to turn it into a viable diagnostic
center – you will start on the path to a diagnostic
imaging facility. If you are a physician and own
diagnostic equipment you may bill Medicare directly for
these services under your practice's provider ID. Other
non-hospital facilities must enroll as
IDTFs (Independent Diagnostic Testing Facility) and
must qualify for such classification.
MSO's unique turn-key service
A quick search on the internet yields a plethora of
results on turn-key diagnostic imaging operations.
However, standing squarely on the pedestal is MSO – a
company that founded its existence on the establishment
of one of the largest fixed site nuclear imaging
facilities in the New York metro area. With 4,000 square
feet, numerous examination rooms, multiple viewing
stations, a complete software development team and
custom engineered computing systems, MSO lead the way to
create one of the most prominent diagnostic facilities
of its kind. This facility later on provided services to
over 600 physicians.
In 2001, MSO decided to divest itself from daily
operations of the imaging center and turned to focus on
the implementation of new technologies for diagnostics
and therapy in healthcare. Since then we have been
providing turnkey solutions to physicians and healthcare
investment groups in the establishment of a diagnostic
imaging facility.
Let's start the process now!
Before you embark on your journey, here is a list of questions you should ask
yourself before the initial preparations for a new
facility. We have a comprehensive list of questions, but
that will come later.
- In what ways does room layout influence patient flow?
How do you handle patients hooked up to IV leads in the
middle of a procedure in contrast to new patients
awaiting a procedure?
- Who is the appropriate candidate to become an office
manager for the facility?
- How can you combine 4 critical functions in the daily
operations to 1 person to reduce costs?
- Which equipment can I choose that will provide
rapid imaging at a modest price? Do I need a dual
head?
- Which portion of the procedure is the bottle neck
that can prevent me from processing more patients ?
How do I overcome it?
- Is it possible to fit 5 cardiac stress tests, 3
bone studies, 5 Thyroid uptakes and a blood pool study
on a single head camera in one shift ? (our answer is
yes. How? we will tell you later).
- Which cardiac protocol provides the best clinical
results? Which cardiac protocol is the quickest?
If these questions have peaked your interest then you
should know by know that we are very good at this. Dr.
Jacob Dagan - the principle founder of MSO completed his Ph.D. in
nuclear diagnostic imaging at Columbia University and
took part in study research on modalities currently used today
in this field. Under Dr. Dagan's guidance, MSO
developed, tweaked and optimized imaging protocols that
enhance the quality of the studies while maximizing
throughput.
