An integrated PET/CT scan is the most advanced imaging technology for the detection and evaluation of cancer. The whole-body scan generates high-resolution images of abnormal activity and its location.
Abnormal biological activity often takes place before physical changes are identifiable by other imaging exams such as MRI, CT, x-ray and ultrasound. A PET/CT scan provides images of the entire body, detecting primary and secondary disease earlier and more accurately than any other imaging technology.

- PET/CT replaces multiple medical procedures with a single exam.
- PET/CT identifies disease often before it shows up on other exams.
- PET/CT evaluates all the organ systems of the body in a single exam, so it can indicate whether or not the cancer has spread.
- PET/CT shows the changes in disease and how the body responds to treatment.
- PET/CT reduces or eliminates ineffective or unnecessary surgical or medical treatments.
- PET/CT identifies optimal biopsy targets for more accurate results.
- PET/CT provides more information in a single scan than the combination of conventional imaging modalities.
- PET/CT often eliminates unnecessary surgeries and treatments.
- PET/CT offers insight into the effectiveness of therapies during treatment sooner than conventional imaging.
