Advancing Urological Care With State-of-the-Art Digital PET/CT Imaging

Urology Centers of Alabama (UCA) proudly announces the opening of the Albert J. Tully Therapeutics & Diagnostics Center, a major step forward in delivering world-class diagnostic care to patients across Alabama.

This new facility features a next-generation digital PET/CT machine, bringing faster, clearer, and more precise imaging to UCA’s main campus. Digital PET/CT technology represents the most advanced standard in diagnostic imaging—offering sharper resolution, improved early detection, shorter scan times, and a more comfortable experience for patients.

With this addition, patients benefit from:

  • Unmatched image clarity for earlier and more accurate diagnoses

  • Faster, more comfortable scans with reduced radiation exposure

  • Improved evaluation of complex urological and oncologic conditions

The investment in digital PET/CT reinforces UCA’s commitment to bringing the highest level of innovation and expertise to the communities we serve.
