WHAT PROBLEMS CAN A PET SCAN DETECT?

HOW PET SCANS WORK

PET scans use radioactive tracers to show metabolic activity inside the body, helping detect diseases early and accurately.

CANCER DETECTION & STAGING

PET scans identify primary tumors, detect metastasis, and monitor how well cancer treatments are working.

HEART DISEASE IDENTIFICATION

In cardiology, PET scans assess coronary artery disease, measure heart muscle viability, and evaluate overall heart function.

NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS DETECTED

PET imaging helps diagnose Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, epilepsy, and brain tumors by tracking changes in brain metabolism.

INFECTIONS & INFLAMMATION FINDING

PET scans identify hidden infections and inflammatory diseases such as vasculitis, sarcoidosis, and inflammatory bowel disease.

THYROID & ENDOCRINE PROBLEMS

PET scans detect thyroid cancer, parathyroid abnormalities, and adrenal tumors by highlighting abnormally active endocrine tissues.

BONE & JOINT DISORDERS IDENTIFIED

PET scans reveal bone metastases and inflammatory joint conditions like rheumatoid arthritis by showing abnormal metabolic activity.

THE POWER OF PET/CT

Combining PET and CT offers both metabolic and structural detail, delivering highly accurate diagnoses across many diseases.
