PetCT-General

Accurate and early diagnosis is the basis of the fight against cancer. With the rapid development of medical imaging technology, tumors as small as a few millimeters can now be detected, so different cancers can be treated more and more effectively, through targeted therapies. From this information bulletin you can also learn about one of the most modern methods of image creation, the PET/CT examination.

With the help of CT, the pathological, anatomical and structural changes of the organs can be identified. The deficiency of CT is that it does not provide information about the biological substrate of the lesions. To use an analogy, the CT itself provides as much information about..

The principles of the method

CT, like conventional radiological methods, uses X-rays to obtain an image of the inside of the human body. 

This is achieved by measuring their differential absorption in tissues with different densities. (tomodensitometry).

CT is clearly superior to classic radiological examinations in providing cross-sectional images through the human body, with much sharper differentiation of organs and pathological problems.

The examination is not painful at all. The patient lies on the examination table and during the..
