Today, PET/CT technology is regarded as the most powerful tool to accurately depict and measure the metabolic function of cancer. It has become a leading diagnostic instrument for breast, lung, colon and prostate cancers. For cardiology applications, PET/CT scanning is the most accurate noninvasive test to determine the presence of coronary artery disease or the viability of the muscle. PET/CT imaging also can be used to detect abnormalities in the brain, making it easier to diagnose neurological disorders. It promptly identifies diseases and provides a timely, accurate diagnosis - eliminating the need to subject a patient to a battery of testing procedures before beginning treatment. Earlier treatment often correlates with better outcomes.
