PET CT Scan in Pragati Maidan

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a type of nuclear medicine procedure that measures the metabolic activity of the cells of body tissues. PET CT Scan is a combination of nuclear medicine and biochemical analysis. PET  CT Scan helps to visualize the biochemical changes taking place in the body, such as the metabolism of the heart muscle. Identifying changes at the cellular level, PET may detect the early onset of disease before other imaging tests can.

What is a PET CT Scan?

  • Pet scan stands for positron emission tomography (PET); it is a common radiology procedure to generate pictures of your body organs and tissues in real time.
  • The PET Scan uses a safe injectable radioactive chemical (radiotracer) and a machine called a PET scanner to examine both normal and abnormal metabolic activities in the body. 
  • A PET scan can often expose a disease at its early stage, before the disease is detected on other imaging tests, such as computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
  • Usually, the PET scans are combined with CT and MRI scans and are called PET-CT or PET-MRI These combinations are helpful to create more detailed images for accurate diagnosis.

A whole-body PET scan may be recommended when a comprehensive evaluation of the body is deemed necessary.  You can simply book a scan by typing “Whole body PET CT Scan near me” and then fill out the form on Medifyhome.

What is a PET CT scan and How Does it Work?

A PET CT scan is an imaging technique that combines two types of scans: PET and CT. PET scans detect metabolic activity in the body, while CT scans detect detailed anatomical images. By combining these scans, doctors can obtain both functional and structural information about the body. Many types of solid tumors can be detected by PET-CT and PET-MRI scans, including: 

  •  Brain 
  •  Breast 
  • Cervical 
  • Colorectal 
  • Esophageal 
  • Head and neck 
  • Lung 
  • Lymphatic system
  • Pancreatic 
  • Prostate 
  • Skin 
  • Thyroid

What should I expect during the PET CT scan procedure?

A Pet CT scan involves lying on a table, and receiving a radioactive tracer to highlight metabolic activity, painless. Before a scan, avoid eating or drinking, mainly with contrast dye, and remove metal objects to avoid interference. Get a radioactive tracer injection on the arm , absorbed by specific tissues to highlight abnormal metabolic activity. Wait 30-60 minutes for the tracer to distribute. To ensure clear images, remain still. The scan is painless, but prolonged lying may be uncomfortable.

Can a PET CT scan detect cancer at an early stage?

  • Yes, a PET CT scan can detect cancer at an early stage. It can detect cancer cells when they’re small, even before they cause symptoms or show up on other tests like X-rays or MRIs. This early detection is crucial because it allows doctors to start treatment sooner.

  • PET scans detect cancer cells with higher metabolic rates, helping in detection, revealing cancer spread, checking treatment success rate, and identifying cancer recurrence.

Positron Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography (PET/CT) combine information on anatomy and metabolic function into one, easy-to-read image.

PET/CT helps physicians diagnose, stage, and treat cancer with more accuracy than ever before.

The reading radiologist will contact your referring physician to communicate all pertinent information from your scan. Then your referring physician will contact you to share the results.

  • PET scans are advanced diagnostic tools limited to select facilities due to the need for expensive equipment and qualified radiologists.

PET CT scans are highly accurate in detecting various types of cancers, making them more effective in treating cancer than PET and CT scan alone.
