What is a PET CT scan?
Positron emission tomography is the full form of PET CT scan. A PET scan or a PET CT Scan is used to check diseases in the body. A full-body PET Scan can detect how you’re your organs and tissues are working.
A small amount of a radioactive substance is injected into a vein. This substance under the PET Scan machine can look at the blood flow, oxygen use, and metabolism in your body at the cellular level.
The amount of radioactive substance is quite low and hence is not considered harmful.
CT scans provide detailed pictures of tissues and organs, while a PET scan reveals the activities of the tissues and organs, better results are obtained when the CT scan and PET scan are combined.
Thus helping the doctors to decide the accurate diagnosis.
