  Hey Mike_s This list appears to have to be as widely regional as it was for Biloxi due to the widely separated nature of the centers. I'm sure this is due to the rapid decay of the isotope used for the scan and the necessity of short transport times. I'm giving you complete state listings for MD, PA and VA from PETNet. I was Surprised not to find ANY within the limits of DC, but there you have it.
