PET

Positron Emission Tomography

PET exams are preceded by a CT exam. Both exams involve small doses of ionizing radiation. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should inform their doctor or healthcare technician before taking the exam. Learn more (Radiology.org) about the benefits and risks of the PET/CT exam.

Depending on the type of exam, you may need to fast. See the information regarding your specific exam type in the scheduling letter.
