What is PET/CT?
A Positron Emission tomography/Computer tomography scan known as a PET/CT scan is an advanced imaging test that detects biochemical abnormalities in your body. A radioactive drug containing glucose, called and FDG tracer, is injected into a vein in either your hand or arm and is absorbed by your tissues and organs. The PET detects the radioactivity emitted by the FDG, and the CT provides fine anatomical detail so that combined PET/CT allows for early and highly accurate detection of disease.
