Positron emission tomography (PET/CT) scanner

Positron emission tomography (PET) scanning with computed tomography (CT) is a powerful addition to the treatment and diagnosis of various tumors in the body.
This depends on both the anatomical appearance and functional activity of the tumor:

1- At the beginning of the diagnosis, he determines the stage of the tumor and the metastases to determine the type of treatment and for comparison thereafter.

2- Follow-up on treatment, whether surgical / chemotherapy / radiation, to complete the correct treatment.

3- Regular follow-up after recovery to ensure reassurance and to diagnose any tumors in their early stages.

4- Determining the optimal location for taking a sample from the tumor.
