We provide professional support in Pet/CT.
The first diagnosis of cancer, the stage of the cancer
and the treatment protocol of the cancer can be determined with PET/CT.
It is an imaging test that helps reveal how your tissues and organs are
functioning by using radioactive drug (tracer) to show cancers activity.
A PET/CT scan can provide a vision to fight effectively against cancer.
Positron Emission Tomography–Computed Tomography (better
known as PET/CT) is a medical imaging technique using a device which combines
in a single gantry system both a positron emission tomography (PET) scanner and
an x-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner.
Combining a PET scan with an MRI or CT scan can help make
the images easier to interpret.
Common uses of the procedure
Detect cancer. Determine whether a cancer has spread in the body.
Assess the effectiveness of a treatment plan, such as cancer therapy.
Determine if a cancer has returned after treatment.
Determine blood flow to the heart muscle.
Determine the effects of a heart attack, or myocardial infarction, on different
areas of the heart.
Identify areas of the heart muscle that would benefit from a procedure such as
angioplasty or coronary artery bypass surgery (in combination with a myocardial
perfusion scan).
Evaluate brain abnormalities, such as tumors, memory disorders, seizures and
other central nervous system disorders.
Map normal human brain and heart function.
For a PET/CT scan, at least 6 hours of starvation process is required since
eating may alter the distribution of the PET tracer in your body and can lead
to a suboptimal scan. This could require the scan to be repeated on another
day, so following instructions regarding eating is very important. You should
not drink any liquids containing sugars or calories for several hours before
the scan. Instead, you are encouraged to drink water. If you are diabetic, you
may be given special instructions.
Women should always inform their physician or
technologist who are performing the exam if there is any possibility that they
are pregnant or if they are breastfeeding. The physician and technologist
should always be informed about any medications, vitamins and herbal
supplements you are taking. They also have to be informed about allergies and
recent illnesses or other medical conditions.
You will receive specific instructions based on the type of PET scan you are
undergoing.
