Frequently Asked Questions

What is a PET CT scan and how is it different from a regular CT?▶

A PET CT combines metabolic imaging (PET) with structural imaging (CT). PET detects cellular activity, often using FDG (a glucose analog), while CT shows anatomy. Together, they provide a comprehensive view for diagnosis, staging, and treatment planning.

What are the primary indications for referring a patient for a PET CT?▶

Cancer diagnosis, staging, and response assessment
Evaluation of unexplained fever or infection
Neurology: dementia, epilepsy
Cardiology: viability and inflammation studies

Is PET CT safe for patients?▶

Yes. The radiation dose is within safe limits and well justified by the clinical benefit. It is not recommended for pregnant women, but otherwise, it is safe when used appropriately.

How do I prepare my patient for a PET CT scan?▶

Patients must fast for at least 6 hours, avoid exercise for 48 hours, and have controlled blood glucose (<200 mg/dl). They should also bring previous investigations (CT, MRI, biopsy, etc.).

How long does the procedure take?▶

From injection to imaging, it takes about 2-3 hours. The scan itself takes less than 10 minutes.
