Beta-amyloid PET is an advanced brain imaging scan that helps detect amyloid plaques—abnormal protein deposits linked to Alzheimer’s disease and other memory disorders.

Why it matters:

- Helps clarify the cause of memory loss
- Supports more accurate diagnosis
- Guides personalized care planning

While it’s not a screening test for everyone, it can provide important answers when memory changes remain unexplained.

Knowledge is power—early clarity can help patients and families plan ahead with confidence.

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.

- Opt for light, balanced meals with lean proteins and fresh vegetables
- Eat small, frequent meals to ease digestion and maintain energy
- Avoid heavy, fried, or spicy foods if you’re experiencing nausea

Most importantly, listen to your body and discuss with your care team what works best for you.

Did you know PET imaging can reveal signs of Alzheimer’s before symptoms become obvious?

Using beta-amyloid tracers, PET scans highlight abnormal protein buildup in the brain, helping doctors detect Alzheimer’s in its earliest stages.

Early diagnosis means more time, more options, and more support.

At our PET Imaging centers, we offer advanced neuroimaging in a safe, comfortable setting, with appointments available.

Discuss with your healthcare provider whether PET imaging is suitable for you or a loved one.
