The Birmingham PET Centre is a dedicated PET CT department and is the only static PET scanner in Birmingham. The variety of PET CT investigations seen at UHB would not be provided at an average district general hospital.

The Birmingham PET Centre is subject to The National PET Contract under NHS England. The contract demands turnaround times of less than 7 working days from receipt of referral to scheduling, scanning and reporting, with 75% completed within 5 days. If this target is not met, we risk not meeting contract standard. It is imperative that the PET-CT service can meet this target consistently.
