What to Expect During a PET-CT Scan

1. Preparation: Before the scan, you may be asked to follow specific dietary guidelines or avoid certain medications. A small amount of radioactive tracer will be injected into your bloodstream to highlight areas of abnormal metabolic activity.
2. Imaging Process: During the scan, you will lie on a table that moves through the PET-CT scanner. The scanner will take both PET and CT images, which will be combined to produce detailed images of your body.
3. Duration: The entire procedure typically lasts 30-60 minutes, with the imaging itself taking about 20-30 minutes.
4. Post-Scan: Once the scan is complete, you can resume normal activities. Our specialists will analyze the images and provide a detailed report to guide your cancer treatment plan.
5. Results and Consultation: Your physician will discuss the scan results with you, explaining what they mean for your diagnosis and treatment options. PET-CT scans are often used to evaluate the effectiveness of ongoing treatments.
