4th Generation PET/CT (mct)
Our services include:
1. Diagnosis and staging of cancer and investigating other diseases with the PET/CT Scan (Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography). Our in-house cyclotron is capable of producing PET radiopharmaceuticals such as F-18 FDG, F-18 NaF, F-18 FD0PA and C-11 PiB.
2. Oncology-imaging services using CT scan and ultrasound by expert oncology radiologists.
The latest technology: PET/CT Scan with flow motion
PET/CT with flow technology is the world’s first PET/CT system to eliminate the demand for stop-and-go imaging since the scanning is based on a single continuous motion of the patient table. Not only less time consuming, PET/CT Flow also provides patients a smooth and convenient scan with:
1. Finest Details of Every Organ
2. Accurate Quantification in All Dimensions
3. Maximum Speed of Scan
4. Open Comfort for All Patients
Presently, diagnosis with PET/CT scan utilizes F-18 FDG radiopharmaceutical in more than 90% of cases. Other radiopharmaceuticals, for instance F-18 FD0PA is used in certain types of cancers and brain disorders such as Parkinson’s and other movement disorders, while the C-11 PiB (Pittsburgh Compound) is applicable to Alzheimer’s disease.
Cancers which can be detected using PET/CT Scan
Presently, the PET/CT scan is capable of detecting almost all types of cancerous tumors.
