Benefits of PET/CT Scanning
Benefits of Combining PET and CT
- Earlier Diagnosis
- Replacement of Multiple Tests
- Elimination of Invasive Procedures
- Precise Treatment & Monitoring
- Improved Therapy Planning
Additional benefits include the ability to monitor therapeutic efficiency, pre-surgical assessment, and
identification of distant metastases. As well, this procedure replaces multiple tests that were previously
required, and allows for accurate staging, localization, and the reduction of biopsy sampling errors. An individual's
response to treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy can also be assessed with this new technology.
