PET CT Scan
PET/CT Scan plays a vital role in detection of Cancer in any part of the body. More than 90% of people suspected of cancer/ cancer patients have to get a PET/CT Scan done. This advanced nuclear imaging technique combines positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) into one machine. A PET/CT scan reveals information about both the structure and function of cells and tissues in the body during a single imaging session.
During a PET/CT scan, the patient is first injected with a glucose (sugar) solution that contains a very small amount of radioactive material. The substance is absorbed by the particular organs or tissues being examined. The patient rests on a table and slides into a large tunnel-shaped scanner. The PET/CT scanner is then able to “see” damaged or cancerous cells where the glucose is being taken up (cancer cells often use more glucose than normal cells) and the rate at which the tumour is using the glucose (which may help determine the tumour grade). The procedure is painless and varies in length, depending on the part of the body that is being evaluated.
By combining information about the body’s anatomy and metabolic function, a PET/CT scan provides a more detailed picture of cancerous tissues than either test does alone. The images are captured in a single scan, which provides a high level of accuracy.
Hosur Onco Clinic, in association with nuclear scan units in Bangalore, enables quality PET CT scans at very low and affordable prices. Patients can now avail follow up and repeat PET CT scans at the cost of one time PET CT scan.
A PET-CT scan combines a CT scan and a PET scan. It gives detailed information about your cancer.
A PET-CT scan helps in:
- Diagnosing Cancer
- Finding out how big a cancer is and whether it has spread (stage a cancer)
- Deciding whether you can have surgery to remove your cancer.
- Deciding which is the best course of treatment.
A PET-CT scan can help u learn the cancer’s exact stage. Stage is set based on where and how much it has spread, and if it is changing how your organs work. Understanding this helps you and your doctor choose the best treatment. It also helps doctors predict your chance of recovery.
Doctors also use PET-CT scans for:
- Finding the right place to do a biopsy.
- Finding out if the cancer treatment provided is working as per expectations
- Evaluating how well the treatment has worked so far.
