General information

PET is the short form for Positron Emission Tomography.  PET is used as a cancer screening tool. 

PET imaging uses a "sugar" solution (known as FDG) In the body, PET is used in cancer detection and treatment (oncology) to detect malignant cancer cells since those cells "burn the sugar" at a higher rate than normal cells.

This allows your doctor to know whether a cancerous tumour or a benign one.  This can also indicate whether it is a scar tissue and/or radiation changes or a reappearance of the cancer.

This is one of the most important diagnostic imaging and disease staging technologies available. PET is a widely established imaging technology used in most developed countries of the world.  PET can lead to better a quality of life for those who suffer with cancer, neurological disorders and heart disease.

PET is a medical imaging technique that can search for cancer anywhere in your body, can diagnose Alzheimer's disease years before symptoms occur or prove that bypass surgery would benefit your damaged heart. PET can tell you whether a tumour is benign or malignant and can show you if a malignant tumour has spread.
