(CT scan), PET/CT scans provide greater detail with a higher level of accuracy; because both scans are performed at one time without the patient having to change positions, there is less room for error. It also has greater convenience for the patient who undergoes two exams (CT and PET)...

A PET scan may be done to see if the cancer has spread to other parts of your body. Radioactive liquid is injected into your IV to help cancer cells show up better in pictures. Blood tests are done to get information about your overall health. A sputum sample may be tested for cancer...
Do not enter the MRI room with anything metal. Metal can cause serious injury. Tell the healthcare provider if you have any metal in or on your body. A PET scan is used to see activity in areas of your brain. You are given radioactive material that helps healthcare providers see the ...
PET/CT imaging: The incremental value of assessing the glucose metabolic phenotype and the structure of cancers in a single examination PET/CT with the glucose analogue FDG is emerging as the most important diagnostic imaging tool in oncology. More than 2000 PET/CT scanners are operational ... ...
A Computerized Axial Tomography (CAT) scan or CT scan is a way of X-raying a mass in the body that allows for one to see three-dimensional views of the mass. It can allow a neurologist to essentially look at "slices" of the brain for better diagnostics in locating cranial bleeds or ...

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans measure emissions from positron-emitting molecules. Because many useful, common elements have positron emitting forms (carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen), valuable functional information can be obtained. This is the main difference between the CT and MRI scans. The...
