Pet-CT Scan
PET-CT stands for Positron Emission
Tomography and Computed Tomography scans. They are both standard
imaging tools that China Renji uses to locate disease states in
the body. A PET scan shows the biological changes in the body before
anatomical changes take place, while the CT scan gives information
about the disease’s physical characteristics such as size, shape
and location. When these two scanning technologies are used together,
a PET-CT scan enables physicians to more accurately diagnose and
identify cancer, heart disease and brain disorders.
