Advanced Technology. Faster Scans.
PET/CT combines two powerful imaging technologies into one exam. CT provides detailed images of the body’s anatomy, while PET helps physicians see how tissues and organs are functioning at the cellular level.
This advanced imaging can help physicians:
- Detect and diagnose cancer
- Determine whether cancer has spread
- Evaluate how well treatment is working
- Monitor for recurrence
- Guide diagnosis and treatment planning.
If your provider has recommended a PET/CT scan, ask about having your imaging performed at MVHS Medical Imaging Center Downtown.
