Imaging for Oncology, Cardiology and Neurology.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans are keyed to observing processes in the brain, heart and other internal organs. Within the last several years PET scans have been critical to the imaging of brain functioning and heart blood flow. The reason for the importance of PET is its ability to trace metabolic changes in cancer cells which are different from other tissues.

In cancer cells there are increased rates of blood flow, amino acid flow, DNA synthesis and glucose transport compared to normal tissues. PET scans can detect these changes within a high range of efficiency.

At present physicians have been ordering Positron Emission Tomography for discovery of abnormal tissue and tumors, or to determine treatment for tumors. These scans may detect early stages of coronary artery disease, a damaged heart muscle, and indications of stroke or clotting.
