     • A PET scan is a type of nuclear medicine imaging. Nuclear medicine uses small and safe amounts of radioactive material, called radiotracers, given through an IV. Unlike other imaging techniques, PET scans focus on processes and molecular activity within your body. This gives them the potential to find disease in its earliest stages.

   What does a PET Scanner look like?

   • A PET scanner is a large machine with a round, donut-shaped hole in the middle. It looks like a CT or MRI unit. Multiple rings of detectors inside the machine record the energy emissions from the radiotracer in your body. The CT scanner is typically a large, donut-shaped machine with a short tunnel in the center.

   How does a PET scan work?

   • PET scanners work by detecting the radiation given off by a substance injected into your arm called a radiotracer as it collects in different parts of your body. In most PET scans a radiotracer called fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is used, which is similar to naturally occurring glucose (a type of sugar) so your body treats it in a similar way.

   What is a positron emission tomography (PET) scan?

   • Positron emission tomography (PET) scans produce detailed 3-dimensional images of the inside of the body. The images can clearly show the part of the body being investigated, including any abnormal areas, and can highlight how well certain functions of the body are working.

   What is a PET scan & a CT scan?

   • The images can clearly show the part of the body being investigated, including any abnormal areas, and can highlight how well certain functions of the body are working. PET scans are often combined with CT scans to produce even more detailed images. This is known as a PET-CT scan.

   What does a PET-CT scan show?

   • PET-CT scan (or Position Emission Tomography Computed Tomography scan) uses X-rays and a radioactive tracer to take a detailed 3D picture inside your body. It shows areas where cells are more active than usual. What is a PET-CT scan?

   Is a PET-CT scan dangerous?

   • The CT component of a PET-CT scan also involves exposure to a small amount of additional radiation, but the risk of this causing any problems in the future is still very small. Find out about positron emission tomography (PET) scans and how these three-dimensional images of the inside of the body can be used.
