PET (Positron Emission Tomography) Scan

A PET scan is an imaging test that shows how tissues and organs are functioning by detecting small amounts of a radioactive tracers injected into the body. These tracers emit positrons, which the scanner detects to produce detailed images of metabolic activity and blood flow. It helps doctors identify abnormalities like cancer, brain disorders, and heart problems by revealing areas of increased or decreased activity, providing insight into the body's processes in real-time. The procedure is safe, minimally invasive, and valuable for diagnosing and monitoring various medical conditions.
