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 PETscan 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 the form on Medintu.
