Who’s at risk?
Anyone can be at risk for skin cancer, but especially those with fair skin, frequent sun exposure, tanning bed use, or a history of sunburns.

Protect your skin:
- Wear SPF 30+ daily
- Use hats, sunglasses & protective clothing
- Stay in the shade (10 AM–4 PM)
- Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours
- Check your skin for changes

Use the ABCDEs to spot trouble:
Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter, Evolving

If you notice a new or changing spot, don’t wait—early detection saves lives.

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.

Eating well during cancer treatment can help support your strength, energy, and recovery, especially in the summer heat.

Here are a few tips to nourish your body this season:
-Choose hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumbers, and berries
- 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.

Wondering what a PET scan is—and how it’s different from an MRI or CT?

A PET scan reveals how your organs and tissues are functioning, not just their appearance. From detecting cancer to monitoring heart and brain health, PET helps doctors see disease at the cellular level—often before symptoms appear.

At our PET Imaging centers, scans are fast, accurate, and appointments are readily available.

June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month

At PET Imaging, we’re proud to support early detection through advanced beta amyloid PET scans—a powerful tool in identifying signs of Alzheimer’s disease. A Beta-Amyloid PET/CT scan confirms deposits of Beta-Amyloid Plaque on the brain. This can help your neurologist determine whether or not you qualify for the new FDA approved treatment.

If you or a loved one are experiencing memory loss or cognitive changes, talk to your doctor about whether a beta amyloid scan may be right for you.
