--- title: Expert Post-Processing Analysis helping hospitals and imaging centers increase efficiency and expand their portfolio of services. | PIA Medical description: PIA Medical specialize in CT & MR image analysis and reporting including CT FFR and Plaque Analysis. --- # Resources & F.A.Q’s ## F.A.Q. ##### Why should we consider outsourcing to PIA if we already have an Imaging Lab. ? PIA provides vital backstopping to existing in-house post-processing capabilities, that ensure continued quality service and improved workflow. We provide coverage for days or weeks when your facility is short-staffed, or expertise for cases where you may not have the onsite software or experienced personnel needed to process specific cases.     ##### Do you provide Acquisition Support Training for client staff? Improve your image acquisition, improve your reputation with staff and patients.  Reduce liability with better results.  Increase efficiencies.   PIA offers a quality educational training program from expert staff members who have over 20 years of experience in CMR and CCTA. Upon completion, your technologist will have a comprehensive understanding of image acquisition and the basic cardiovascular capabilities of their MR and CT system. As a result of this expert training, our clients see up to an increase of 3x in scanner throughput.     ##### Are there Image Transfer Options? - PIA receives patient studies from clients via a secure, automated DICOM gateway.  Results are provided directly to the PACS or other specified DICOM destination via the same secure gateway. - Manual web transfer of image files is also available.     ##### Can we request changes to an analysis? Yes, PIA prides ourselves on our responsive service. We receive (and reply to) instructions, amendments, or questions via email, phone, or text—and we are available to set-up joint tele-sessions for one-on-one support. ## Fact Sheets #### Remote Medical Image Post-Processing Medical Image Post-processing as a Remote Cloud-Based Solution [![View & Download](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/7569534/e1b5d994-50ae-4997-a4ce-e4d8a16c7cb6.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/7569534/e1b5d994-50ae-4997-a4ce-e4d8a16c7cb6) #### MR SERVICES Remote Magnetic Resonance Post-Processing and Analysis [![View & Download](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/7569534/306b31af-03c1-4af9-8a06-eed0ee6b28ee.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/7569534/306b31af-03c1-4af9-8a06-eed0ee6b28ee) #### CT Services Remote Computed Tomography Post-Processing and Analysis [![View & Download](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/7569534/1f15a9e0-34e5-494c-9c33-e0974bb21abf.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/7569534/1f15a9e0-34e5-494c-9c33-e0974bb21abf) #### Vascular Services Remote Vascular CT and MR Post-Processing and Analysis [![View & Download](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/7569534/244ba5f9-b448-4134-8061-f5b42deab6ba.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/7569534/244ba5f9-b448-4134-8061-f5b42deab6ba) #### Neurological Services Remote Neuro CT and MR Post-Processing and Analysis [![View & Download](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/7569534/ca8b4e52-c159-40e9-aae4-66e90d5e7e49.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/7569534/ca8b4e52-c159-40e9-aae4-66e90d5e7e49) #### TAVR Services Remote TAVR Post-Processing and Analysis [![View & Download](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/7569534/c5d17230-bf66-4fca-9fb1-dda46b680dfd.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/7569534/c5d17230-bf66-4fca-9fb1-dda46b680dfd) #### CMR Services Remote Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Post-Processing and Analysis [![View & Download](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/7569534/38ae1d1d-ab47-4ee8-95f5-372ba3fbe13b.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/7569534/38ae1d1d-ab47-4ee8-95f5-372ba3fbe13b) #### CCTA Services Remote Cardiac Computed Tomography Angiography Post-Processing and Analysis [![View & Download](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/7569534/8da1fd79-67ce-48b4-8d43-1f601c35327e.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/7569534/8da1fd79-67ce-48b4-8d43-1f601c35327e) #### MRA Fact SHeet Remote Magnetic Resonance Angiogram Post-Processing and Analysis [![View & Download](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/7569534/c377382e-5223-47f8-9a97-9c9e25e4c5f8.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/7569534/c377382e-5223-47f8-9a97-9c9e25e4c5f8) #### Imaging Core Lab Imaging Core Lab services [![View & Download](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/7569534/d175b0bf-52e8-4a54-88eb-507abb99c690.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/7569534/d175b0bf-52e8-4a54-88eb-507abb99c690) ## Videos PIA Client Interview How Outsourced Post-Processing Improves Workflow The Value of Outsourced Image Post-Processing Optimizing Post-Processing Workflow Scaling Cardiovascular CT Services with CT-FFR The Evolution and Adoption of FFR-CT ## White Papers #### Comparison of the Work Effort and Accuray of Post-Processing Cardiac MR Among Attendings, Fellows, and Third-party Vendors Study comparison the time and accuracy of post-processing performed by an outsourced third-party to post-processing by attending physician alone, or in conjunction with a radiology fellow.
