Prior to the installation of the PET-CT, local citizens who needed a PET-CT scan had to travel to Opelika or Sylacauga, or as far as Montgomery and Birmingham. Even so, patients were sometimes waiting five or six weeks for an imaging appointment.

On January 19, a brand-new PET-CT scanner went online at Russell Medical, completing our suite of cutting-edge scanners, including last year’s new MRI and our recently acquired state-of-the-art CT. This means Russell Medical can provide all the imaging services patients might need in Alexander City.
