PET/CT
Oncologic and Brain:
PET/CT combines the technology of CT and PET in one comprehensive study. Unlike other imaging exams, PET/CT detects changes in how cells function and metabolize nutrients such as sugar and oxygen. This painless test utilizes a radioactive material that is similar to glucose, to detect changes in cellular function. PET/CT can differentiate between benign and malignant tissue with great accuracy.
NaF (Sodium Fluoride) PET/CT Bone Scan:
In comparison to conventional bone scans, Sodium Fluoride PET/CT Bone Scans:
Are more accurate for identifying skeletal lesions
Are more sensitive and more specific in identifying bone metastases
May allow accurate, early detection of bone metastases in patients with breast cancer, lung cancer and other tumor types
