In most developed countries the use of PET/CT technology is the normal standard of care. "The pictures from a PET scan provide information different from that uncovered by other types of scans, such as computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A PET scan or a combined CT-PET scan enables your doctor to better diagnose your condition.” - Mayo Clinic

💙 INITIO Is Lit Up in Blue: Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

At INITIO Nuclear Medical Clinic, we’re lit up in blue this September to shine a spotlight on prostate cancer awareness. Today, we’re speaking with two of our leading experts:

Dr. Tarzwell – Medical Director
Dr. Cohen – Head of Prostate Cancer Therapies

Why Early Detection Matters

Prostate cancer often develops silently. The earlier it’s detected, the more treatment options are available.

✅ PSA Blood Test
The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test measures a protein made by prostate tissue. If PSA levels rise, it may be a signal to investigate further.

✅ Pelvic MRI
A pelvic MRI can provide a deep, detailed look inside the prostate—offering more accuracy than a traditional physical exam alone. This allows doctors to detect tumors that might otherwise go unnoticed.

✅ PSMA PET Imaging
While CT and bone scans remain standard, PSMA PET scans are the most sensitive nuclear medicine test for identifying whether prostate cancer has spread.

What You Can Do

Talk to your doctor about PSA testing.
If you’re hesitant about a digital re**al exam, ask about a pelvic MRI.

Remember: digital exams still detect many tumors and remain an important tool.

✨ Knowledge is power. Options exist, and early detection can make all the difference.

At INITIO Medical Group, we’re proud to offer PET/CT imaging for accurate, timely diagnoses and better treatment planning. Trust us to bring clarity to your health journey.

Philanthropy’s impact reaches far beyond financial support.

When students receive opportunities through programs like BCIT’s Nuclear Medicine initiative, they don’t just gain access to resources—they gain confidence. Confidence to pursue their career goals. Confidence to step into the future of healthcare. And confidence to know their work matters in advancing cancer diagnostics and patient care.

At INITIO, we are proud to support the next generation of nuclear medicine technologists. Our $150,000 donation to BCIT is more than an investment in education—it’s an investment in people, progress, and the future of cancer care.

Together, we can build a workforce equipped to stand at the frontier of innovation, ensuring that every patient benefits from the best science and the best care.
