What is PET Imaging?
PET (Positron Emission Tomography) imaging is an advanced diagnostic tool that helps doctors see how your organs and tissues are functioning—not just how they look.
Unlike traditional scans, PET uses a small amount of a safe tracer to highlight areas of activity in the body. This allows physicians to:
- Detect disease early
- Stage cancers with greater accuracy
- Monitor response to treatment
- Evaluate brain and heart health
By combining PET with CT or MRI, patients receive a detailed picture that guides personalized, effective care.
PET imaging provides answers that help doctors create the right treatment plan—tailored to you.
