What is a PET Scan? Understanding PET/CT Imaging
At our Kharghar center, Positron Emission Tomography visualizes cellular metabolism using a radiotracer (commonly FDG). Areas with higher metabolic activity (e.g., malignant cells, active infection/inflammation) show increased uptake on PET. When fused with CT (PET/CT), metabolic information is precisely localized in anatomy for accurate staging, response assessment, and treatment planning.
Layman’s view: A tiny dose of radioactive sugar is injected; problem areas use more sugar and “light up” on the scan. The camera maps these bright spots so your doctor can find disease early and plan the best treatment.
Reports usually same day or within 24 hours.

The PET Scan Procedure at Our Kharghar Center
- Check‑in & history review: blood glucose is checked (esp. for FDG studies).
- IV line is placed: radiotracer is injected.
- Uptake period: rest quietly for 45–60 minutes (no speaking/exertion).
- Scan: lie still on the PET/CT table; CT runs first, then PET (about 20–30 minutes).
- Finish: hydrate and resume routine activity; radioactivity clears over a few hours.
PET Scan Report Turn‑Around Time (TAT)
Same‑day preliminary impressions are common for morning slots. Final signed report typically within 24 hours. Urgent cases are prioritized.
Secure Report Delivery
Structured reports with measurements (SUV), comparison to priors, and clear impression. Delivery via WhatsApp, email, and portal; films/CD on request.
PET Scan Preparation & Fasting Guidelines
- Fasting: Water‑only for 6 hours before scan (unless told otherwise). Avoid gum/candies.
- Diet (prior 24h): Prefer low‑carb, high‑protein meals; avoid alcohol.
- Diabetes: We’ll coordinate insulin/medication timing to keep glucose in range. Bring readings.
- Exercise: Avoid strenuous activity for 24h (reduces muscle uptake).
- Caffeine/Nicotine: Avoid for cardiac PET & generally limit on scan day.
- Clothing: Warm, comfortable, minimal metal; remove jewelry and valuables.
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Inform us in advance; special precautions apply.
PET Scan Prerequisites & Safety at Henotic Diagnostics
- Serum Creatinine/eGFR: Required if contrast‑enhanced CT is planned with PET/CT.
- Allergies: Tell us about prior contrast reactions; premedication or non‑contrast CT may be used.
- Medications: Most can continue with sips of water (check diabetes meds with our team).
- Claustrophobia: Scanner is short & open; mild anxiolytic can be arranged if needed.
