Positron Emission Tomography/Computerized Tomography (PET/CT) is a powerful new diagnostic imaging test that offers a unique view of the body's biological functions. This state-of-the-art instrument is at The Corvallis Clinic every Monday.
Positron Emission Tomography and Computerized Tomography allow clinicians to pinpoint the location of cancer within the body before making treatment recommendations. The highly sensitive PET scan picks up the metabolic signs of actively growing cancer cells in the body. The CT scan provides a detailed picture of the internal anatomy and reveals the size of and shape of the abnormal growths.
