WHAT IS SODIUM FLUORIDE (NaF) SURESTART?<br />
Sodium Fluoride (NaF) <strong>SureStart</strong> is a peer review and orientation program<br />
developed by <strong>IBA</strong> <strong>Molecular</strong>, which allows you to launch and develop a NaF<br />
PET/CT service to your customers with accuracy and confi dence, regardless<br />
of your previous level of experience with NaF PET/CT image interpretation.<br />
HOW DOES IT WORK?<br />
The core of the program is a peer review system, enabled by<br />
PETLinQ’s secure, HIPAA-compliant, web-based interface. Study<br />
images and reports are submitted electronically and reviewed<br />
by Robert S. Bridwell, M.D., a noted PET/CT physician with<br />

returned promptly, accompanied by a notifi cation email to alert<br />
readers of review availability. A <strong>Peer</strong> <strong>Review</strong> includes comparative<br />
observations on scan protocol and images, interpretation and<br />
reporting elements, and may also include literature references<br />
regarding unique aspects of NaF PET/CT imaging.<br />

BRING VALUE TO YOUR REFERRERS<br />
From the fi rst scan, <strong>SureStart</strong> allows you to quickly provide results and demonstrate a<br />
high quality of service to your referrers, building their confi dence. Adding this important<br />
PET/CT imaging service, and doing so in a profi cient and professional manner, will help<br />
you continue to develop your reputation in the medical community.<br />
UPGRADE WITH EASE AND CONVENIENCE<br />
PETLinQ’s Web-based interface and electronic submission forms provide for the<br />
convenient and effi cient exchange of reports and images between imaging centers,<br />
peer review experts and referring physicians. All forms and paperwork are submitted<br />
electronically, with no need for paper copies. Secure web-based technology eliminates<br />
the need to install software or run a VPN.<br />
Because it works on an on-demand basis, <strong>SureStart</strong> allows you to decide, case by case,<br />
when you need peer review. At the beginning of your NaF experience, you may want to<br />
request a peer review for each case. As your experience with NaF grows, Surestart will<br />
allow you to request peer-review support only for those cases that you feel warrant an<br />
educational review.<br />
<strong>Peer</strong> reviews are returned promptly, with email notifi cation, allowing you to provide<br />
quality reports and quick turn-around to your referring community.<br />
