What is a PET/CT scan and how does it work?
PET/CT is an advanced imaging test that detects biochemical abnormalities in the body and is usually an outpatient procedure. A radioactive drug called FDG is injected intravenously and is absorbed by tissues and organs. The PET detects the radioactivity emitted by FDG, and the CT provides fine anatomical detail so that the combined PET/CT allows highly accurate detection of disease. Ga-68 peptides PET-CT may be used for prostate cancer and NET tumours. We use the PET-CT for following indications briefly.
