PET/CT Scanner For Cancer
What is PET/CT?
PET/CT is a powerful imaging technique that holds great promise in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases, particularly
cancer. A non-invasive test, PET/CT accurately images metabolic and anatomic information in the human body in a single scan. This allows your physician to examine your entire body at once. PET/CT provides a more complete picture, making it easier for your doctor to diagnose problems, determine the extent of disease, prescribe treatment, and track progress.
Combined with CT (computed tomography), PET/CT scans are very helpful in diagnosing and staging cancer. They also help doctors differentiate different forms of dementia and Parkinson’s Disease. For more information regarding PET/CT, please visit RadiologyInfo.org
