A positron emission tomography – computed tomography (PET CT) scan is an advanced medical imaging test that detects diseases at an early stage. It combines PET’s metabolic imaging with CT’s anatomical details, providing highly accurate results. Doctors use PET CT scans to diagnose and monitor cancer, heart disease, neurological disorders, and infections.
During the scan, a radioactive tracer is injected into the bloodstream, highlighting abnormal cells based on their metabolic activity. This technology helps in precise disease detection, treatment planning, and monitoring progress.
The FDG PET CT Scan is widely used in oncology to detect and monitor various cancers, evaluate treatment response, and identify recurrence. It is also applied in neurological and cardiac assessments.
FDG-PET is instrumental in staging, diagnosis, and monitoring of multiple cancers such as lung, breast, and lymphoma.
The PSMA PET CT Scan is specifically designed for prostate cancer detection and staging. It provides exceptional clarity and accuracy, assisting physicians in making precise and effective treatment decisions.
The PET CT DOTA scan is used for the detection and staging of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). It offers high sensitivity in identifying somatostatin receptor–positive lesions, helping doctors accurately locate tumors, assess disease spread, and plan targeted treatment with greater confidence.
The PET CT FAPI scan is an advanced imaging technique designed to detect a wide range of cancers by targeting cancer associated fibroblasts. It provides excellent tumor visibility, even in early stages, supporting precise diagnosis, staging, and treatment planning across multiple cancer types.
