Digital PET-CT
Nuclear Medicine Diagnostics is an established integral part of cancer management and plays a dominant role right from the staging to treatment response assessment and follow up of patients. The accuracy and resolution help in offering personalized cancer care to each individual by analysing the behaviour of cancer in depth. The department of Nuclear Medicine is equipped with the most advanced state-of-the-art Digital PET-CT scanner, the first of its kind in South Asia. The fastest time of flight technology and digital detectors over high resolution and crystal clear images with an ability to detect lesions as tiny as 1-2mm in size at lesser imaging times and injected doses thereby imparting lesser radiation exposure to patients.
Exclusive Features of Digital PET-CT
- Fastest- less than 10 minutes for whole body scan
- Safest-lowest radiation exposure
- Smallest- can pick up even 2mm lesions compared to analog PET
- Highest Sensitivity – 50% to 60% more pick-up
- Clearest – true 3D image quality
Advantages of Digital PET-CT
- Wide gantry bore size (78cm) – It provides 25% more space compared to other PET- CTs to reduce claustrophobia and improves patient experience
- Even large sized patients can be imaged easily
- Simultaneous contrast enhanced 192 slice-whole body CT for anato-metabolic
information - Early detection of small lesions
- Accurate staging and restaging of cancers
- Accurate quantification of tumour metabolism before and after treatment
