Understanding the PET Scan
A powerful window into the metabolic function of your body.
How a PET Scan Works
Imagine your body’s cells need sugar for energy. A PET scan uses a special, safe radioactive sugar (called a tracer) that is injected into your bloodstream. This tracer travels throughout your body and is absorbed by cells that are very active, like cancer cells.
The PET scanner then detects the energy from this tracer, and a computer turns this information into detailed, 3D images. This helps doctors see how your organs are functioning, pinpointing areas of concern that might not be visible on other scans like CT or MRI.
Benefits of a PET-CT Scan
Why your doctor may recommend this advanced imaging test.
Cancer Diagnosis & Staging
Detects cancer, determines if it has spread, and assesses treatment effectiveness.
Neurological Conditions
Evaluates brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, and seizures.
Cardiac Assessment
Assesses blood flow and identifies damaged heart tissue after a heart attack.
Your PET Scan Journey at Henotic
A step-by-step guide to your appointment.
Prerequisites & Preparation
- Fasting: 6-8 hours required. Only plain water is allowed.
- Medication: Inform us of all medications. Diabetics need special instructions.
- Serum Creatinine Report: A recent report is mandatory for kidney function check.
- Avoid Exercise: Refrain from strenuous activity for 24 hours before scan.
Tracer Injection & Rest
A small amount of radioactive tracer is injected. You will then rest quietly for 60-90 minutes to allow it to circulate. It’s important to relax and avoid movement during this time.
The Scanning Process
You will lie on a bed that slowly moves through the ring-shaped PET-CT scanner. The scan is painless and takes about 20-30 minutes. Our technicians will be in constant communication with you.
Reporting and Results
After the scan, you can resume normal activities. Our expert radiologists will analyze the images, and your comprehensive report will be ready within 24-48 hours, delivered via WhatsApp for convenience.
