What is a PET/CT scan?

A PET/CT scan combines both technologies into one machine. It provides a picture of cellular function (PET), a picture of physical structure (CT), a merged picture of the body’s cellular function and physical structure.

Benefits include:

  • Improves diagnostic confidence for patients who have or may have cancer
  • Reduces the need for invasive procedures, like a biopsy or surgery
  • Helps avoid the “wait and see” method often used to monitor potential disease
  • Monitors response to treatment to ensure the treatment is working
