PET/CT

PET/CT (Positron Emission Tomography) scanning reflects our longstanding tradition of bringing groundbreaking technology to New England.

PET/CT scanning produces highly detailed images of the body's metabolic functions. The PET/CT scanner is highly sensitive to functional changes in the body and helps diagnose abnormalities much more accurately than any other available technology.  In addition, the patient benefits from a reduction in diagnosis and treatment time - in a situation where time is of the essence.

PET/CT imaging is available through partnerships between Shields Health Care Group and several prominent health care facilities.  It is now available at Shields MRI centers in Springfield, in partnership with Baystate Health; in Worcester and Fitchburg, in partnership with UMass Memorial Health Care; and in Weymouth, in partnership with South Shore Hospital.
