Material Detail

This site describes the power of Molecular Imaging and Positron Emission Tomography called a PET scan. PET is a powerful diagnostic test that is having a major impact on the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Most common medical tests, like CT and MR scans, only show details about the structure of your body. A PET scan is different, it provides information about body function. In a single PET procedure, physicians can collect images of function throughout the entire body, uncovering abnormalities that might otherwise go undetected. It lets you navigate to other sites with information on the PET scan. This site can be used for educational purposes or for personal information. It has printable brochures and documents that need downloading.
