PET-CT (Positron Emission Tomography with Computed Tomography) is the gold standard in cancer diagnostics. It is the most informative examination, capable of detecting even minimal signs of tumor activity — in cases where other methods are still “silent.”
PET-CT in Oncology
• Early Diagnosis. PET-CT detects increased metabolic activity in cells before structural changes appear.
• Tumor Staging. Accurately determines the extent of the disease and the presence of metastases.
• Treatment Monitoring. Allows assessment of the effectiveness of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy after just a few courses.
• Detection of Recurrence. Crucial when there is suspicion of the disease returning, especially after surgery or radiation therapy.
• Radiation Therapy and Radiosurgery Planning. PET-CT helps precisely outline the tumor boundaries for highly targeted treatment.
How does a PET-CT scan work?
The patient is injected with a radiopharmaceutical that accumulates in cells with high metabolic activity — such as tumor cells. After 40–60 minutes, scanning is performed.
The procedure is non-invasive, painless, and does not require hospitalization.
