Pet scan x-ray Imaging and results in Bangalore

This Blog is an Introduction to Pet scan. This Blog on PET scans explains Positron Emission Tomography, a nuclear medicine imaging test that aids  your doctor in detecting cancer in your body. The scan involves injecting a small quantity of  liquid radioactive tracer into the body to identify several disorders, including many forms of  malignancies and brain and heart issues. FDG, or fluorodeoxyglucose, is the most often  used radioactive chemical for this purpose. These are ingested, breathed, or injected into  the circulation, where they aggregate and emit energy through gamma rays. The tracer will  collect in locations with increased chemical activity and be detected by PET scanners as  The PET scan monitors blood flow, oxygen consumption, sugar metabolism, and other  factors. PET scanning is an outpatient operation, which means the patient does not need to  stay in the hospital overnight. A PET scan can be used to assess a variety of illnesses,  including cancer, heart disease, and brain issues. PET pictures are frequently coupled with  CT or MRI scans.  More picture clarity for better evaluation, shorter scan time, minimal radiation exposure,  increased patient comfort and a broad expandable field of view are benefits of our centre’s  cutting-edge PET CT technology.  ​This Blog on Pet scan also covers brief instructions on preparation for the procedure COMMON APPLICATIONS OF THE PROCEDURE  This treatment is frequently mentioned in the medical community. This approach aids in  the early detection of sickness by allowing us to recognise the aberrant bodily activity. This  implies that symptoms can be detected before the body’s visible indicators appear. As a  result, PET scanning is used to see a variety of illnesses that create problems in various  body systems.  ●The following are some of the most common applications of the procedure:  ●Determine whether or not cancer is present and/or establish a diagnosis.  ●Check to see if cancer has spread throughout your body.  ●Assess the treatment’s effectiveness.  ●Determine whether cancer has returned after treatment.  […]

What are the benefits of PET Imaging?.

The combined PET CT imaging provides both structural and functional imaging of the body tissues and organs in a single imaging session providing a more robust diagnosis than either scan can produce independently. PET CT scan is an imaging test that helps reveal how your tissues and organs are functioning. This scan can sometimes detect disease […]
