PET and CT Scans

While CT and PET scans are used individually for a variety of diagnostic options, the highly defined, 3D images they provide can also be used together to closely pinpoint exact locations in the body. Information from the PET scan is matched up with anatomical landmarks on the CT scan to help stage a disease more accurately for treatment planning in conditions such as cancer and heart disease.

After scheduling your appointment, follow these helpful guidelines when preparing for your PET/CT scan.
