Positron Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography (PET-CT) Scans
A PET scan may be combined with a CT scan at many cancer treatment centres. However, you may hear your doctor refer to this procedure just as a PET scan. A PET-CT scan is one way to find cancer and learn its stage. Stage is a way to describe where the cancer is, if it has spread, and if it is changing how your organs work. Knowing this helps you and your doctor choose the best treatment. It also helps doctors predict your chance of recovery.
