What is PET/CT?

PET/CT is the most advanced medical imaging technique available today. It combines PET’s abilty to detect changes in cell activity with the fine structural detail that CT scans provide. This revolutionary technology enables your physician to detect the presence of disease earlier and pinpoint its location with much greater accuracy than PET or CT scans alone. PET/CT scans provide a powerful tool for diagnosing and staging cancer, evaluating coronary artery disease, and differentiating Alzheimer’s disease from other forms of dementia.
