Charges for Radiotracer used in Nuclear Medicine/PET scans
Charge will vary depending on the radiotracer used in the study and will be determined on a case-by-case basis. The cost will be processed as a pass-through charge to the research study.

Billing
Billing is determined according to the total amount of time that the room(s) is occupied (including participant prep time, participant task practice, equipment prep, operation time, and post-session cleanup). The total amount of time to accomplish the above should be included when scheduling equipment and/or room time.
- Animal studies: must add 30 minutes to requested time to allow for necessary post-scan cleanup.
Cancellations
- No shows/cancellations occurring less than 48 business hours prior to reserved MRI, PET and CT scan time will be charged an administrative fee of 50% of the usual charge.
- Cancellations made 48 business hours or more prior to scan will not be charged.
- In the event that the subject withdraws before starting the scan, charge will be 50% of the usual charge.
- If an issue occurs on the subject’s or study team’s end after the scan has begun that results in the scan ending prematurely, charge will be the full usual charge.
- If an issue occurs on Radiology’s side after the scan has begun, there will be no charge.
