In the past, anatomical and biological imaging technologies were captured separately. Today, the PET and CT are completed within the same session utilizing PET/CT technology. The results are quicker scans interpreted with greater precision. Healthcare professionals have embraced PET/CT as one of the most significant developments of the decade.

Know more.
The more you know, the more you can do for your patients. Studies show that when PET/CT is utilized, it can significantly improve patient management. By providing answers as to whether or not a chosen treatment is efficacious, PET/CT has prompted physicians to fine-tune or even change their diagnosis or treatment plans. Furthermore, vastly improved insurance reimbursement policies have allowed more patients to take advantage of this exciting technology. With RCOA’s unique flexibility, PET/CT is more accessible than ever.

Clear answers on cancer:
PET/CT is emerging as a critical diagnostic and staging tool for a wide range of cancer types. In a single, non-invasive procedure, PET/CT can pinpoint the tumor, indicate whether it is benign or malignant and reveal how advanced the disease has become. Physicians gain heightened confidence in their targeted treatment plans and staging capabilities, while securing the trust of their patients.

Closer to the heart:
PET/CT is a non-invasive test available today to reveal or rule out the presence of coronary disease in certain patients. In remarkable detail, it outlines the heart and coronary vessels and enhances the evaluation of infarcted, or scarred vs. hibernating or at-risk myocardium. Thus, it provides critical assistance in therapy decisions, preoperative work-up of bypass grafts and in evaluation for cardiac transplants.

Focusing on the mind:
Recent studies have shown dramatic new hope for patients with early onset Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Naturally, this has made PET and PET/CT an even more viable tool for managing these diseases. PET imaging enables physicians to identify and differentiate the nature of brain abnormalities, including epilepsy, strokes and brain tumors, helping patients and their families take a proactive stance.
