Impact of PET/CT Scan on cancer.
Cancer cells show up as bright spots on PET scans because they have a higher metabolic rate than do normal cells. PET scans may be useful in:
  • It is similar in terms of safety to diagnostic procedures found in radiology (e.g. X-rays, MRIs)
  • Millions of PET scans have been performed worldwide.
  • The exposure level to radiation is very small and is considered safe for a medically-appropriate diagnostic procedure.
  • The radioactive tracers used in PET/CT disappear from your body completely within 24 hours.
  • We employ all safety measures and safety equipment and are happy to provide more information about any of our procedures.

  • Colorectal

PSMA-PET scans hunt for cancer that is spreading, or metastasizing in men with rising PSA levels after prostate cancer treatment, or if cancer is suspected of metastasizing in a newly diagnosed patient. The scans are able to detect tumors only a few millimeters in size anywhere in the body, they allow doctors to find and treat metastases before they become more dangerous.
