As part of its commitment to providing advanced imaging diagnoses for complex medical care, TGH Imaging powered by Tower is the first in Florida to install the new Omni Legend digital PET/CT system from GE HealthCare. Now available in Tampa, Fla., at 4719 N. Habana Ave., the Omni Legend is an innovative solution that harnesses the power of an advanced digital detector capable of producing high-resolution images and faster exam times[1]. This impressive, all-digital technology can help increase patient access and efficiency, creating a higher level of service to patients and physicians in the area.
GE HealthCare’s Omni Legend PET/CT, recently recognized by AuntMinnie Europe as the “Best New Radiology Device” in its EuroMinnies 2023 awards, enables improved operational efficiency and overall experience for the patient and the technologist. With streamlined calibration for quality assurance, simplified protocol selection for an easy process from start to finish, and enhanced patient positioning capabilities with AI-based auto positioning, the Omni Legend is unique in its advanced imaging technology.

“Having access to high-quality images is foundational to world-class health care.

TGH Imaging works closely with the TGH Cancer Institute, allowing for a more streamlined process from diagnosis to treatment, taking a multidisciplinary approach with an emphasis on compassionate, personalized care that focuses on the whole patient.
TGH Imaging facilities are accredited by the American College of Radiology with board-certified, subspecialized radiologists working with highly trained technologists to offer patients top-quality exam results, often available the same day. As a diagnostic resource for patients and physicians, TGH Imaging provides a range of exams in addition to PET/CT, including MRI, CT, 3D mammography, breast biopsy, ultrasound, bone density, nuclear medicine and X-rays.
