Positron Emission Tomography (PET-CT) is an advanced medical service that combines two imaging techniques to provide detailed information about the function and structure of the human body. At Hospital Angeles Lindavista state-of-the-art equipment and a team of highly trained specialists to perform this procedure accurately and safely.

PET-CT uses a radioactive substance called a tracer, which is administered to the patient via injection. This tracer accumulates in areas of the body with higher metabolic activity, such as cancerous tumors. A computed tomography (CT) scan is then performed to obtain detailed images of the body’s anatomy. These images are combined with those obtained through PET to provide a comprehensive and accurate view of the body’s metabolic activity and structure.

This service is particularly useful in the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases such as cancer, as it allows for the detection of tumors, the assessment of their size and location, and the determination of whether they have spread to other parts of the body. It is also used in the evaluation of cardiac, neurological, and musculoskeletal conditions.
