Potentially. The cost of getting off the island is so high that unless a procedure is extremely rare, it can make financial sense for us to provide it here. The math for flying to Halifax and getting a PET scan would be at least $2,200 per scan (just flight plus scan itself). Depending on the number we do, that cost could be high enough to justify one scanner on the island.
