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.

Preparation: PET/CT scan preparation varies depending on the patient's indication and the specific type of scan ordered by the referring physician. Patients will be given specific instructions from our knowledgeable staff during scheduling.

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