What Is A PET 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 MRI’s. 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
