Positron
Emission Tomography
(PET) A PET scan allows physicians to measure the body's abnormal
molecular cell activity to detect Cancer (such as breast cancer,
lung cancer, colorectal cancer, lymphoma, melanoma and other
skin cancers), Brain Disorders (such as Alzheimer's Disease,
Parkinson's Disease, and epilepsy), and Heart Disease (such
as coronary artery disease).
PET
scans are simple, painless, and fast, offering
patients and their families life-saving information that
helps physicians detect and diagnose diseases early and quickly
begin treatment.
PET scanning
and molecular imaging provide real life answers to better diagnose
illness, guide treatment options, and give patients ultimate
control over their critical and vital health care decisions.
