PET-CT Services

A PET-CT Scan is a highly advanced imaging test primarily used for the detection and monitoring of cancer, along with several other medical conditions. This scan combines Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computed Tomography (CT) in a single procedure using a specialized machine. In a Whole Body PET-CT scan, the CT scan provides detailed anatomical images, while the PET scan highlights molecular activity by tracking the uptake of radiopharmaceutical isotopes—most commonly 18F-FDG. The Whole Body FDG PET CT scan is especially valuable in identifying and staging cancers, and it has been a key tool in oncology for decades. Patients looking for reliable diagnostic services can now access high-quality PET-CT Scan in Rohtak, including specialized scans like the PSMA PET CT Rohtak, designed specifically for prostate cancer evaluation.

What Is a Whole Body PET-CT Scan?

In a Whole Body PET-CT scan, a single scanner conducts two tests simultaneously: 

  • CT Scan captures detailed anatomical images.
  • PET Scan detects molecular activity by measuring the uptake of radiopharmaceuticals, commonly 18F-FDG, a glucose-based tracer absorbed by active cancer cells.

This dual imaging technique helps physicians detect, stage, and monitor cancer more accurately and efficiently.

How to Prepare for a PET-CT Scan

To ensure accurate results and a smooth scanning process, please follow these preparation guidelines:

  • Fasting: 4–6 hours prior (preferably overnight). Only plain water is allowed.
  • Medication: Inform us of all ongoing treatments—special prep may be required.
  • For Diabetics: Light breakfast at 6 AM and prescribed medication on test day is recommended. Inform us beforehand for tailored preparation.
  • Creatinine & Urea Tests: Mandatory for patients undergoing contrast-enhanced scans.
  • Bring All Clinical Records: Include prescriptions, previous scans/reports, surgical summaries, biopsy reports, and prior PET-CT CD for comparison.

Types of PET-CT Scans Offer

Your physician will guide you on the most appropriate scan based on your condition:
  • PET Scan Whole Body : Whole Body 18F-FDG PET CT Scan (18F-Fluoro Deoxy Glucose). This is the most common scan and comprises 90% of all PET Scan.
  • For Prostate: Ga68 labelled PSMA (Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen) PSMA PET CT Scan. PSMA is better at localizing cases of Prostate Cancer as compared to Whole Body FDG PET Scan.
  • For Neuro Endocrine Tumors: Ga68 labelled DOTA – DOTA PET-CT Scan. DOTA is better at localizing cases of NETs (Neuro Endocrine Tumors) as compared to Whole Body FDG PET Scan.
  • For Abdomen: Whole Body FDG PET-CT with Triple Phase CT Upper Abdomen
  • For Cardiac Viability Assessment: Cardiac PET-CT (FDG PET CT Scan + Cardiac Test Component on a Gamma Camera)

If not done in the past few days, the mandatory Creatinine and Urea Blood Test are conducted for your test.
  • Checking Vitals: After obtaining the Creatinine and Urea, technical Team will then check the patient’s vitals, to rule out common problems such as a fever, and then conduct an Blood Glucose Test on the spot for FDG PET Scan cases to ensure your viability for the scan.
  • Administration of the Tracer: Your PET Tracer will next be administered, and you will be given oral contrast to drink and wait till the medicine gets absorbed by the body.
  • PET CT Scan Conducted: You will have to lie down still in the machine for a few minutes and follow the Nuclear Physicist’s instruction for the PET CT scan.
  • IV Contrast and PET CECT Scan: Unless contrast is contra-indicated or creatinine is observed to be high, IV Contrast will then be injected via a Pressure Injector for CT Contrast. After Contrast is Injected, the PET-CT Scan with contrast is conducted.
  • Additional Sequencing (If Required): In cases such as the Whole Body PET-CT with Triple Phase Abdomen or If required by the nuclear physician. You may be required to spend an additional few minutes in the machine after the routine pet scan is conducted for delayed or other phase acquisitions.
  • Wait for Films and a CD: In most cases, your Films and CD will be available within a couple of hours of the scan.
  • Wait for Reports: Since PET-CT Scan is a detailed investigation, our team of doctors will be reviewing and reporting your study within 24-48 working hours. You should get a SMS regarding your report as soon as the PET Scan and Other Tests (if any) is approved.

What Happens During the PET-CT Scan?

1. PET Scan (Positron Emission Tomography)

A small amount of radioactive tracer (e.g., 18F-FDG) is injected into the bloodstream. Cancer cells, being highly active, absorb more of this tracer. The PET scan captures these areas of high uptake, indicating possible malignancy.

2. CT Scan (Computed Tomography)

This scan provides detailed images of the body’s internal structure. Oral and IV contrast agents may be used unless contraindicated (e.g., high creatinine or allergy history).

PET CT Scan in Rohtak

PET CT is a procedure where small amount of dye (radiopharmaceutical) is injected into patient. After some time dye is taken up by tissues in patient body.

18FFDG PET-CT

This is most commonly performed PET-CT for cancer patients.

  • Whole body 18FFDG PET-CT: This is used for diagnosis of cancer, treatment planning, response assessment and surveillance of different kinds of cancer.
