How PET/CT Imaging Works
PET/CT scans utilize a radiotracer to obtain both physiologic and anatomic information. The radiotracer used (FDG, Gallium-68 Dotatate, Axumin, Neuraceq, Amyvid, etc.) varies based on the patient's indication and on the specific PET/CT scan ordered by the patient's referring physician.

The total time commitment for this test is approximately 2.5 hours.
