PET /CT

PET/CT is a powerful imaging technique that helps in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases especially Cancers, Alzheimer’s disease, Infections, etc. It can detect diseases that are not identified on conventional CT scans. PET/CT scan consists of 2 components - the diagnostic CT (Computerized Tomography) scan (anatomical) and the PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scan (functional) - both in the same sitting. Therefore PET/CT accurately images metabolic and anatomic information in the body.

How will PET/CT scan help in treatment?

Improved diagnosis:

See MORE, See BETTER, See EARLIER: The significantly improved precision (higher imaging / diagnostic accuracy) of co-registration of anatomy and function down to the molecular level by the PET/CT results in

  • Improved reader (nuclear physician) confidence
  • Earlier detection of disease
  • Precise localization and interpretation (characterization) of the hyper metabolic disease areas
  • Marked reduction in inconclusive scan findings

Better evaluation and devising treatment protocol

The PET/CT scan results not only help to have a major impact on physician’s diagnosis of cancer but also help

  • Physician to predict the likely outcome of various therapeutic alternatives during primary staging / re-staging of cancer
  • Planning and individualizing treatment protocols and methods by efficiently monitoring the response of the disease to treatment

Impacting disease management & lives

  • Lesser time & better patient compliance
  • Both functional and detailed anatomical imaging done in a single setting
  • Avoiding unnecessary surgeries and invasive procedures
  • Reducing treatment related side effects
  • Reducing overall treatment costs

Different types of PET/CT’s available at MIOT

  • 18F-FDG PET
  • 18F-Flourine Bone PET
  • 18F-FDOPA (Parkinson’s, Recurrent Brain tumors, etc)
  • 68Ga-PSMA (Prostate cancer)
  • 68Ga-DOTANOC (Somatostatin receptor imaging)
  • 68Ga-FAPI (Oncology)
  • Other 68Ga- labeled molecules including CXCR-4 (Multiple myeloma), Exendin (Insulinoma), etc

Diagnostic assessment of modern day diseases

Besides revolutionizing cancer diagnosis and treatment protocols, the PET/CT is a powerful tool for diagnostic assessment of modern day diseases such as neuro degenerative disorders (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, etc.), coronary artery disease, etc.
