PET CT
Evaluating treatment effectiveness: Change in a tumor’s metabolic activity occurs much before change in its size and hence can more effectively demonstrate response to treatment. PET enables doctors to see these changes better than other imaging methods. Also, patients shown to be responding to treatment on PET have a much better prognosis than those who don’t.
The addition of CT scanner has the following advantages:
- It helps make the PET images more accurate
- The PET images can be superimposed on to the CT images, so doctors can localize the site of PET abnormality correctly.
- Fusion of PET and CT images gives more information about tumor characteristics and metabolism.
What are the required preparations?
- The patient should be fasting 4-6 hours before the scan. Drinking water is allowed.
- If you are diabetic, kindly inform us before the scan. The patient can take anti diabetic tablets 4-6 hours prior to the scheduled time for the scan, along with a light breakfast.
- If patients are on IV fluids don’t use DNS 6 hours before study.
- Your appointment may be rescheduled/canceled in case of high blood glucose levels.
- Patients are requested to remove all the ornaments before coming for the scan.
- Patients are instructed to bring discharge summary, and all their previous investigation reports (X-Ray, Ultrasound, CT Scan CD/Films or MRI Scan CD/Films) at the time of scan.
- Unexplained fever
- Inflammatory diseases such as arthritis
- Chronic infective diseases
- Brain disorders such as dementia, memory loss, movement disorders, or epilepsy
- Cardiac abnormalities.
