Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) combines two different techniques in one scanner
Having a PET/CT scan
PET/CT is a diagnostic imaging technique used mainly in oncology, neurology, cardiology, infection and inflammation, and in planning surgery and treatment.
It gives clinicians two sets of related information about the body – functional and structural – from one examination. The CT scanner takes a series of two-dimensional cross-section images (‘slices’) around an axis. Computer processing is then used to construct a three-dimensional image. PET works by detecting gamma rays given off by a radioactive tracer injected into the body.

Wonderful, clean, spacious building. Helpful, friendly, professional staff. I was looked after very well.
All of the staff, from reception to all the nurses and MRI scanning team, were absolutely lovely. Very friendly and caring, and kept me well informed throughout.
