PET/CT imaging helps physicians detect cancer, evaluate the extent of disease, select the most appropriate treatments, determine if the therapy is working, and detect any recurrent tumors. Before a PET/CT scan, the patient receives an intravenous injection of radioactive glucose.
Positron emission tomography (PET) scanning combined with CTA is on the horizon for the detection of heart disease. PET scans are a form of nuclear medicine -- nuclear being the small dose of radioactive material you are injected with before the test (the radiation exposure is similar to that of a standard X-ray). As with CTA, PET involves a doughnut-like scanning device that takes the images.
