Pet / CT
PET/CT is a new imaging tool that combines two scan techniques in one exam – a PET scan and a CT scan. PET/CT, like Nuclear Medicine procedures, requires an injection of a small radiopharmaceutical and is mainly used for diagnosis, staging, or restaging malignant disease and metastases. It can also be used to differentiate dementia verses Alzheimer’s disease. The two procedures together provide information about the location, nature of, and the extent of the diagnosed cancer.
