What is a PET Scan?
PET CT scanners are modern medical imaging devices that combine computed tomography (CT) with positron emission tomography (PET). This integrated system consists of two basic components: a PET scanner and a CT scanner. Positron-emitting radioactive tracer chemicals are introduced into the patient’s bloodstream, where the PET scanner detects them. These tracers accumulate primarily in tissues with high metabolic activity, such as cancer cells. The PET scanner detects the gamma-ray emissions from these tracers, revealing information on metabolism and cellular activity. Simultaneously, the CT scanner employs X-rays to provide detailed anatomical images of the body’s internal structures. This technology combines PET and CT imaging to provide extensive information on the metabolic activity and anatomical properties of tissues and organs. This allows doctors to pinpoint irregularities more precisely, which aids in cancer diagnosis, heart disease staging, and neurological problem monitoring, among other medical conditions.
