 When a diagnosis of cancer is first made it can be overwhelming and frightening. The first step is to assure that you and your physician have all the information you need to manage your care.
With Regional Radiology’s new PET/CT that information is only a test away. This new technology combines the best of PET (positron emission testing) with the best of CT (computed tomography). The fusion of these imaging modalities produces images that provide metabolic and anatomic information in a single exam. Together they can provide critical answers to important questions eliminating the “wait and see” approach, commonly used to monitor patients during post-treatment, and sometimes even during the actual therapy and the treatment phase. This means greater peace of mind for patients and their families, knowing that this technology provides comprehensive information lessens the anxiety associated with the unknown.
ANSWERS TO CRITICAL QUESTIONS IN ONE EXAM
- Where is the tumor? Is it spreading?
- How large is it?
- What is the optimal therapy
- Is the therapy working?
- Is there recurrence? And if so where and to what extent?
