About the PET/CT Scan Procedure
PET/CT is a diagnostic imaging tool that utilizes state-of-the-art software to combine images from a PET scanner and a CT scanner. This cutting edge technology allows physicians to accurately pinpoint potentially cancerous lesions in the body, enabling them to diagnose, stage, and treat many forms of cancers. PET/CT can often identify lesions before other imaging modalities.
While PET/CT is an important tool used for patients with known or suspected cancer, it is also very helpful for patients with certain neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
PET/CT allows physicians to:
- Accurately stage cancer
- Monitor response to treatment
- Precisely target radiation treatments
- Detect early recurrences
- Assist in the diagnosis and treatment of Neurological disorders
