PET (Fusion) CT Scan Services
PET stands for Positron Emission Tomography and is a clinically proven imaging technique that assists in the diagnosis and management of many diseases, including, cancer. PET scans significantly enhance the capability of physicians to diagnose cancer at earlier stages, it better defines the stage of the tumor, and helps identify the best treatment option. PET allows a physician to examine large areas of body in a single scanning session, producing images of human body functions unobtainable by other imaging techniques. These images capture biochemical processes, such as tissues glucose metabolism, that cannot be revealed by anatomical imaging with conventional X-ray, CT or MRI. By uncovering abnormalities that might otherwise go undetected, PET guides physicians to the most appropriate treatment.
