Important guidance on scheduling, safety protocols, and preparation guidelines for your upcoming scans.
PET-CT (Positron Emission Tomography - Computed Tomography) is a highly specialized molecular imaging method. By combining functional cellular info (PET) with structural details (CT), it maps metabolic activity in tissues. This is primarily used for identifying cancer stages, monitoring chemotherapy responses, and detecting neurological or cardiac conditions. All reports undergo double-read by our senior nuclear medicine specialists and radiologists to ensure diagnostic accuracy and clinical reliability.
Our uMI550 scanner uses digital silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) instead of older analog tubes. This creates higher resolution, allowing us to spot tiny abnormal lesions (sub-1.5mm effective resolution). It also cuts the required radioactive tracer dose by half and speeds up scan times to just 5-6 minutes, making it safer and more comfortable.
Typically, you must fast (no food, tea, coffee, or sugary drinks, only plain water) for 4-6 hours before the scan. Avoid heavy exercise for 24 hours prior. If you are diabetic, notify our staff immediately so we can coordinate your insulin timing. For full detailed steps, please visit our dedicated Digital PET-CT page.
Yes. Because PET-CT involves the injection of a low-dose radioactive tracer (such as FDG), we require a prescription/referral from a registered specialist (like an oncologist, cardiologist, or physician) to ensure the scan is clinically justified and correctly targeted.
Most radiological studies like CT and MRI, expect turnaround time of 24-48 hours. Reports for emergency cases are expedited as directed by the incharge radiologist. USG reports are dispatched immediately.
