Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT)

Child PET Scans

Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT) imaging offers physicians a unique view of the body's organs and tissue because it records function by showing pictures at the cellular level. PET scanner in a procedure room.

These highly detailed pictures are achieved by injecting sugar mixed with a drug called radioisotope, which is drawn to specific cells in the body. The PET/CT scanner then makes images of the areas that attracted the drug mixture. 

PET/CT also shows clear pictures of body parts and can allow physicians to view the child's entire body with one scan.
