About the PET-CT Scan<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

PET CT is a diagnostic imaging test primarily used for detection of cancer (whole body) and several other ailments. The PET-CT Scan is a test that is done on a special PET-CT Machine which performs the 2 scans together:<\/p>\n

PET Scan: <\/b> The Positron Emission Tomography or PET Scan component marks most actively upataking cells in the body. During the test, a small dosage of a Radioactive Tracers is injected into the patient. This molecule is an isotope which is actively uptaken by most active cancer cells in the body. The uptake of the tracer is measured by the PET scan component of PET\/CT scan, to highlight and mark most cancers.<\/p>\n

CT Scan: <\/b> The Computed Tomography or CT Scan is used for anatomical localisation of the body. A diagnostic quality CT Scan is performed along with the PET scan for the anatomical evaluation of the tests. Prior to the scan, all patients are given oral contrast (positive\/negative) to drink. During the scan, intravenous contrast is injected (unless creatinine is high \/ history of prior allergy \/ referring physician\u2019s discretion).<\/p>\n
