A PET/CT scan detects changes in cellular function – how cells are utilizing nutrients like sugar and oxygen. Areas with a high degree of metabolic activity may have a greater chance of being cancerous. PET/CT scanning is very useful for patients and their Doctors by pinpointing these possible areas of disease. This explains why PET/CT scanning is rapidly becoming the imaging technology of choice for staging, characterizing and assessing the recurrence of cancer.
