Element Medical Imaging is excited to announce the addition of PET/CT imaging. PET/CT (PET Scan) is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool that combines two powerful diagnostic imaging modalities: Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computed Tomography (CT). This advanced technology offers an unparalleled view inside the human body, revolutionizing the way we detect and monitor various medical conditions.
Understanding PET/CT Imaging
PET/CT is a non-invasive exam that fuses the strengths of PET and CT scans. The PET portion of the exam detects areas of high metabolic activity, such as tumors or inflammation, while the CT portion provides detailed anatomical images of the body’s internal structures. By simultaneously combining the two modalities, PET/CT offers a comprehensive picture of both the structure and function of the body yielding more accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans.
Diagnostic Capabilities of PET/CT
PET/CT imaging plays a pivotal role in the detection, staging and monitoring of various cancers, including prostate, lung, breast, colorectal and lymphoma. Additionally, it aids in the diagnosis of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
