What is PET/CT?

 

PET/CT (Positron Emission Tomography and Computerised Tomography) is a scanning method that allows us to see how organs are working.

 

PET/CT helps us identify organs or tissues that are not working normally. The body is imaged following the injection of a radioactive tracer (most commonly C-11), a form of slightly radioactive sugar. This provides important information about many conditions affecting different organs and these images allow your doctor to plan your treatment more accurately.
