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.
