What is a PET CT Scan?

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.

Why is a PET CT Scan Needed? – Uses & Benefits

A PET CT scan provides detailed insights into metabolic and structural changes, making it essential for:

  • Cancer diagnosis and monitoring by detecting tumors, checking their spread, and evaluating treatment effectiveness.

  • Neurological disorder detection, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, epilepsy, and brain tumors. 
  • Infection and inflammation assessment to locate hidden infections and inflammatory conditions. 

 

PET CT Scan For Cancer Detection

PET CT Scan for Cancer Detection – How It Works

PET CT scans are widely used in oncology due to their ability to detect cancerous cells with high precision. The process includes:

01

Tracer Injection

A small amount of radioactive glucose is injected into a vein.

02

Absorption and Metabolism

Cancer cells absorb more tracer due to their higher metabolic rate.

03

Imaging and Detection

The scanner captures detailed 3D images, highlighting tumors, metastases, and abnormal growths.

PET CT Scan for Brain Disorders

PET CT scans help diagnose neurological conditions by mapping brain activity. It is used to detect:

  • Alzheimer’s disease by identifying changes in brain metabolism. 
  • Epilepsy by pinpointing seizure origins. 
  • Parkinson’s disease by assessing brain dopamine function. 
  • Brain tumors and strokes by determining severity and treatment response. 

PET CT Scan for Heart Conditions

For cardiac health, PET CT scans evaluate:

  • Blood flow blockages to help detect coronary artery disease. 
  • Heart tissue viability to differentiate healthy and damaged tissue. 
  • Post-heart attack assessment to determine recovery status. 

This scan ensures early detection and precise treatment planning for heart and brain conditions.
