PET/CT scanPET and PET/CT scans in San Diego are very different from other imaging exams. PET and PET/CT create diagnostic images that evaluate body function and metabolism and detects biochemical processes that may suggest disease before anatomical changes can be seen withX-RAY, CT or MRI. The value of a PET scan is enhanced when it is used for comparison withX-RAY, CT or MRI. PET scans may be performed on the whole body and are most often used to detect cancer and to monitor cancer therapy. A PET scan of the heart is used to determine function and blood flow to the heart muscle, identify coronary artery disease, and determine damaged areas of the heart as a result of prior heart attack. A PET scan of the brain is used to evaluate patients who have memory disorders, suspected or proven brain tumors or seizure disorders that are have been unresponsive to medical therapy.
