PET/CT Scanning

PET/CT Scanning

The PET scanner, also known as Positron Emission Tomography or PET/CT, is an advanced technology that enables physicians to obtain information about the functionality of body tissues through three-dimensional imaging. At the beginning of the imaging procedure with the PET/CT device, the physician injects a radioactive substance into the patient. This radioactive material emits radiation within the body, allowing the physician to determine the presence or absence of disease through the captured images. PET/CT scans are performed for the following purposes:
• Detecting the presence or absence of cancer
• Identifying metastasis in malignant tumors
• Evaluating the effectiveness of cancer treatment in malignancies
• Investigating and locating cancer recurrence
• Assessing blood flow in the heart muscle in the context of cardiovascular diseases
• Assisting in making the best treatment decisions for coronary artery blockages
• Evaluating the effects of myocardial infarctions (MI) on heart muscle
• Assessing the extent of neuronal damage in conditions such as Parkinson's disease and epilepsy
