Cancer, Heart Disease, And Brain Disorders Can Be Identified Using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scanners
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scanner

A Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scanners may generally monitor essential processes including blood flow, oxygen consumption, and blood sugar (glucose) metabolism. It can also identify organs and tissues that aren't operating as they should. Your doctor may advise a PET scan, which may both diagnose cancer and detect it, if they have reason to believe you may have it.

Your healthcare provider could advise many Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scanners over the course of your therapy if you've already been diagnosed with cancer in order to:

·       Check to see if the cancer has spread throughout your body (metastasized).

·       Analyze the success of the therapy.

·       Identify whether the cancer has come back after therapy (recurred).

·       Analyze the cancer's prognosis (outlook).

Your doctor could advise a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scanners if you are experiencing cardiac problems if you:

·       Find out which parts of your heart are affected by a heart attack.

·       Determine whether parts of the heart muscle would benefit from coronary artery bypass surgery or angioplasty.
