Cardiac Imaging Is Your Highest-Margin Opportunity

Cardiac PET, cardiac CT, nuclear cardiology, and echo programs generate meaningful procedure revenue, and most independent cardiovascular practices aren't capturing their full potential.

The Heart Network provides the operational infrastructure to change that.

Affiliated practices access equipment guidance, centralized post-processing, locum nuclear medicine technologist support, and revenue optimization tools designed specifically for cardiovascular imaging programs.

What's Included

Imaging Programs Built for Cardiovascular Practices

Available to affiliated practices individually or as a coordinated imaging program, with no bundled requirement.

Cardiac PET (CPS)

Cardiac PET is one of the highest-margin imaging modalities in cardiovascular medicine. The Heart Network's CPS program allows independent practices to access turnkey cardiac PET infrastructure, including central post-processing, locum NMT placement, and operational optimization tools.

Cardiac CT

Cardiac CT is among the fastest-growing cardiovascular imaging modalities. The Heart Network provides the clinical protocols, equipment guidance, referral development, and operational support affiliated practices need to launch or expand with confidence.

Nuclear Cardiology

Nuclear cardiology programs generate meaningful procedure revenue, but staffing, protocol standardization, and performance optimization pose ongoing operational challenges. Our nuclear cardiology support helps practices maximize program efficiency and revenue capture.

Echocardiography Optimization

Echo is the foundation of cardiovascular imaging. Most practices have room to improve performance, throughput, and billing accuracy. The Heart Network's echo optimization support addresses workflow, coding, and quality metrics to improve both clinical outcomes and revenue.

Centralized Post-Processing

Central post-processing infrastructure removes one of the most operationally complex aspects of running a cardiac imaging program, reducing turnaround time, improving report consistency, and freeing your clinical team from administrative burden.

Locum NMT Support

Gain access to locum nuclear medicine technologists who can be placed at your practice to support PET and nuclear cardiology programs, eliminating the staffing barrier that prevents many independent practices from launching or sustaining high-volume imaging programs.

Our Benefits

What Advanced Imaging Delivers for Your Practice

Enhanced Revenue Opportunities

Cardiac PET, CT, and nuclear cardiology programs generate meaningful procedure revenue that stays within your practice rather than being referred out. For most independent cardiovascular practices, imaging represents one of the largest untapped revenue opportunities available. The Heart Network provides the infrastructure to capture it without the capital investment of building independently.

Improved Clinical Care

Advanced cardiac imaging like cardiac PET, CT angiography, and nuclear perfusion studies gives your clinical team diagnostic capabilities that change treatment decisions and improve outcomes for your most complex patients. Practices that invest in imaging infrastructure capture more revenue while also delivering a higher standard of cardiovascular care and deepening the patient relationships that define an independent practice.

Simplified Operational Complexity

Physicians know how to read a PET scan, yet factors like equipment decisions, staffing, post-processing infrastructure, accreditation, and billing complexity have historically held independent practices back from expanding imaging programs. The Heart Network's imaging support addresses every one of those barriers, giving affiliated practices a clear path to launch or optimize without navigating it alone.

How It Works

From assessment to operational imaging program in four steps.

 01

Discovery Call

We learn about your current imaging capabilities, the modalities you want to add or optimize, and your facility infrastructure. We work with practices at every stage, from launching a first modality to expanding an established program.

 02

Imaging Assessment

Our team evaluates your current imaging performance, equipment, staffing, and billing against cardiovascular industry benchmarks and gives you a clear picture of the revenue opportunity and what it would take to capture it.

 03

Program Setup

Clinical protocols, equipment guidance, locum NMT placement, post-processing infrastructure, and billing workflows are configured for your practice. Nothing goes live until your team is ready.

 04

Go-Live and Optimization

Your imaging program is live and generating procedure revenue. Ongoing support includes CPS post-processing for PET programs, performance monitoring, and regular reporting on volume, revenue, and quality metrics.
