What is a PET Scan and How Does It Work?
A PET scan — Positron Emission Tomography — is one of the most powerful tools in modern cancer diagnosis and treatment planning. At PSG Institute of Oncology in Coimbatore, our PET scan uses small, safe amounts of radioactive tracers to reveal the metabolic activity of cancer cells throughout the entire body in a single, comprehensive scan.
Unlike conventional CT or MRI scans that show the structure of organs and tissues, a PET scan in Coimbatore at PSG Institute of Oncology shows how cancer cells are functioning at the molecular level. This critical biological information allows our oncologists to detect cancer earlier, stage it more accurately, assess treatment response in real time and detect cancer recurrence before it becomes visible on standard imaging.
When combined with CT scanning in our advanced PET-CT system, the result is a highly detailed, three-dimensional image that provides both functional and anatomical information — making PET-CT the gold standard for cancer diagnosis and staging in Coimbatore and across Tamil Nadu.
