PET/CT scan

A PET/CT scan (Positron Emission Tomography–Computed Tomography) is a highly advanced imaging technique that combines two powerful technologies—PET scan and CT scan—to give doctors a clearer and more detailed view inside the body. Unlike traditional imaging methods like CT, ultrasound, or MRI, which only show the structure of organs, a PET/CT scan also highlights the energy consumption and activity of tissues and organs.

This dual capability helps doctors not only detect the exact location of abnormalities but also understand how active or aggressive they are. PET/CT scans are widely used in the diagnosis and monitoring of cancer, heart conditions, and brain disorders, making them an essential tool for accurate treatment planning.

The DTPA Scan is a non-invasive imaging technique primarily used to evaluate kidney function and the renal system.

A DMSA scan evaluates kidney structure and function. It helps detect scarring, infections, and other renal damage accurately.

The DRCG Scan is a dynamic imaging test used to assess the function of the kidneys and urinary tract.

The HIDA Scan is a highly effective imaging test for evaluating the function of the gallbladder, liver, and bile ducts.

The GI Bleed Scan is used to locate and diagnose the source of unexplained bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract.

Meckel’s Scan is an imaging technique used to detect Meckel’s diverticulum, a congenital condition that involves an abnormal pouch in the small intestine.

The GER Scan is used to evaluate patients who suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or other oesophageal disorders.

Bone scans are highly effective for diagnosing bone conditions, including fractures, infections, and tumours.

The Stress Thallium Myocardial Perfusion Scan is a non-invasive imaging technique used to assess heart function and blood flow to the heart muscle.

The MUGA Scan is a highly accurate imaging test used to evaluate the pumping function of the heart.

A thyroid scan is used to assess the size, shape, and function of the thyroid gland. This scan can help diagnose conditions

The Parathyroid Scan is used to locate abnormal parathyroid glands, which can lead to hyperparathyroidism

What is a PET/CT check-up?

A PET/ CT check-up is an advanced medical imaging test that combines Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and reckoned Tomography (CT). This mongrel technology provides both structural and functional details of organs, making it largely effective for accurate opinion.

Why is a PET/CT check-up done?

Doctors recommend PET/CT reviews for several reasons, including detecting cancer, determining how far it has spread, covering treatment response, and diagnosing certain heart and brain conditions.

How should I prepare for a PET/CT check-up?

You may need to gormandize for 4–6 hours before the check-up. Always inform your counsellor if you are diabetic, pregnant, or breastfeeding. Wear comfortable, essence-free apparel for convenience during the procedure.

Is a PET/ CT check-up safe?

Yes, PET/CT reviews are generally safe. The radioactive dick used is veritably minimal and naturally leaves your body within a short period, generally through urine or compost.

How long does the PET/CT check-up take?

The entire procedure generally takes 2–3 hours, including medication, Dick immersion time, and the factual scanning process.

When will I admit my PET/ CT check-up results?

Your results are generally available within 24–48 hours after a specialist precisely reviews and interpret the images.

Can I return to normal conditioning after the check-up?

Yes, you can safely renew your daily routine right after the check-up. Drinking plenty of water is recommended, as it helps flush the dick out of your system more quickly.
