PA PET scan is a test in which glucose, which is preferred by cancer cells, is injected into the body to examine areas where glucose is concentrated. Human cells use glucose as an energy source.
The test method is based on the principle that cancer cells among human cells take in three times more glucose into the cell than healthy cells.
A PET-CT scan is a test in which a PET scan and a CT scan can be performed simultaneously. In addition to the PET scan, which reveals the location of cancer cells, a CT scan can also be performed at the same time to help determine the exact location of cancer cells in the body. A PET/PET-CT scan can detect cancer cells and tumors throughout the body.
