At Bannu Medical Center, we are thrilled to introduce our latest addition to diagnostic imaging services – the PET-CT Scan. This state-of-the-art technology combines Positron Emission Tomography (PET) with Computed Tomography (CT), offering a comprehensive approach to medical imaging that goes beyond traditional methods.
What is PET-CT Scan?
PET-CT Scan is a powerful imaging technique that provides detailed insights into both the metabolic and structural aspects of tissues and organs. Here’s how it works:
- PET (Positron Emission Tomography): Uses a small amount of radioactive material (tracer) to detect changes in cellular function and metabolism. It helps in identifying abnormalities at the molecular level, such as cancerous tumors or areas of inflammation.
- CT (Computed Tomography): Uses X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body’s internal structures. It provides anatomical information, helping to pinpoint the exact location of abnormalities detected by PET.
By combining PET and CT scans into a single procedure, our specialists can obtain a more precise understanding of disease processes, assess treatment effectiveness, and plan interventions tailored to each patient’s needs.
Benefits of PET-CT Scan:
- Early Detection: PET-CT Scan can detect diseases at earlier stages, when treatment is most effective.
- Accurate Diagnosis: It provides detailed information about the location, size, and activity of tumors, aiding in accurate diagnosis and staging.
- Personalized Treatment Planning: Helps in planning personalized treatment strategies based on individual patient characteristics and disease progression.
- Monitoring Response to Therapy: Allows for ongoing assessment of how well treatments are working, facilitating timely adjustments if needed.
Conditions Diagnosed with PET-CT Scan:
- Cancer: Helps in staging and monitoring treatment response for various cancers, including lung, breast, colorectal, and lymphoma.
- Heart Disease: Assesses blood flow and viability of heart tissue, aiding in the management of coronary artery disease and heart failure.
- Neurological Disorders: Supports diagnosis and management of conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, and brain tumors.
What to Expect During a PET-CT Scan:
Before the scan, our team will provide specific instructions tailored to your individual needs. This may include dietary restrictions and medication guidelines. During the procedure, you will lie comfortably on a scanning table as the PET and CT scanners work together to capture images. The entire process is designed to be as non-invasive and comfortable as possible.
