What is PET-CT?

A PET/CT scan combines a CT scan and a PET scan into one scan. The scan takes CT pictures of the structures of the body. At the same time, a mildly radioactive drug shows up areas of the body where the cells are more active than normal. The scanner combines both of these types of information. This allows the clinician to see any changes in the activity of cells and know exactly where the changes are happening.

InHealth also provide PET/CT services via the NHS PET/CT South Service and private PET/CT through InHealth Central London. Please visit their respective websites for more information.
