Subject: PET/CT probably

PET/CT simultaneously images and combines the results of two state-of-the-art scanner technologies into a single exam: the highly sensitive PET scan picks up actively growing cancer cells, and the CT scan provides a detailed picture of the inside of your body to reveal the size and shape of abnormal cancerous growths.

At this time, PET/CT is one of the most powerful tools in cancer diagnosis and staging. However, PET/CT can provide important information about some neurological conditions, such as Alzheimer�s Disease as well.
