A description of the nuclear medicine service at the VAMC in Wood, Wisconsin.
It is rare for a Nuclear Medicine Service to replace or add four gamma cameras within six months; it is more unusual for a Service to move to a totally renovated facility. And even more remarkable for a Service to add a large sophisticated imaging computer system, which converts the entire Service to an "all digital" image acquisition, interpretation and archiving (PACS) oriented service. At this Medical Center, we have had all three events occur simultaneously in the past year.
