PET / CT of Las Colinas

PET / CT of Las Colinas employs PET / Positron Emission Tomography. PET is a powerful imaging technique that holds great promise in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases, particularly cancer. A non-invasive test, PET scans accurately image the body’s physiologic changes. A CT / Computed Tomography scan shows the structure of the anatomy where the changes are taking place. During a single outpatient exam, combining these two scans in one highly sophisticated PET/CT imaging technique provides detailed information to physicians about the presence or spread of disease and accurately identifies its precise location.

PET-CT exposes patients to a small amount of radiation. So far, the radiation has no known harm. However, the risk may exist if you need multiple PET scans.

You may be uncomfortable during the scan since you must remain in the same position for a long time. Sometimes, the technician tilts, lowers, or raises the table for better images. Inform him to alert you just before he moves it.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is an imaging method that works by tracking sugar uptake in both healthy and abnormal cells in the body.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is an imaging method that works by tracking sugar uptake in both healthy and abnormal cells in the body. It enables radiologists to see body function (cell activity) and identify areas that are absorbing sugar.
