Radu Petrovici

Since 1991, Dr. Radu Petrovici has worked in nuclear medicine—and at PET-CT Casa Rusu in Seini he interprets the PET component of PET/CT studies as part of a two-physician reading workflow. The center delivers PET/CT reports by email within 24–48 working hours after the investigation, with the option to include the referring doctor by email. Dr. Petrovici is present at the center on scan days, and his PET interpretation is paired with CT interpretation by Dr. Kazay Iudit Carmen. This approach is designed for clinicians who need comparable imaging before and after treatment on the same system.

For patients, the key operational promise is timing: the PET/CT report is sent by email within 24–48 working hours, and the center can provide the report in English on request. Dr. Petrovici’s PET interpretation is coordinated with the CT reading by Dr. Kazay Iudit Carmen, supporting consistent comparisons across time points. The center’s scheduling is typically within 1–5 days, and the full visit usually lasts 2–3 hours.
