A PET/CT scan is a powerful imaging test that combines detailed anatomy (CT) with metabolic activity (PET) to help detect and monitor serious conditions. It’s commonly used to identify cancer, check for the spread of tumors, evaluate heart disease, and assess brain disorders.
By revealing both the structure and function of tissues, PET/CT scans give doctors critical information to diagnose diseases early, plan effective treatments, and track progress.
If your doctor suggests a PET/CT, it’s because this advanced scan offers one of the best ways to see what’s happening inside your body.
