APEX, N.C., Feb. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Flourish Research(R) today announced a strategic partnership with Capitol Imaging Services in advance of the launch of Flourish Imaging(TM), an advanced imaging center currently under development in Gainesville, Georgia. The facility will feature a state-of-the-art GE HealthCare Omni(TM) PET scanner and is expected to open in the coming months, expanding both clinical trial imaging capabilities and community diagnostic access in the region.
The collaboration with Capitol Imaging Services establishes a strong commercial foundation for Flourish Imaging ahead of its opening. Capitol Imaging Services will lead retail booking, scheduling, and community outreach efforts, ensuring seamless access to PET imaging services for referring physicians and patients throughout Gainesville and surrounding communities.
Flourish Imaging represents a strategic expansion of Flourish Research's clinical trial infrastructure, particularly in CNS and oncology studies. The installation of the GE Omni PET scanner will significantly enhance the organization's ability to conduct high-resolution molecular imaging critical for modern clinical research, including tracer trials and endpoints that require complex imaging.

This collaboration positions us to better serve our clients and study participants.”
John Stagg, CEO of Capitol Imaging Services, agrees with Mr. Schulz. “The newly established partnership with Flourish will certainly be a focal point of collaboration in Gainesville for patients, providers, and clinical research organizations. Our organizations also look forward to the relationship growing across the Southeast to expand imaging and therapy capabilities for sponsors looking to provide new and exciting advancements in clinical areas like oncology and CNS through cutting edge technology.”
