PET/CT Imaging
The Cancer Center is one of the only facilities in the area to offer PET/CT imaging with a direct link to our radiation treatment planning computer. This technology allows more accurate and efficient treatment planning, as the images are immediately imported into the cancer center treatment planning system in a matter of minutes.
PET/CT imaging combines two tests—a PET (positron emission tomography) scan and a CT (computed tomography) scan—to produce images that allow doctors to more precisely pinpoint where cancers are located and how far they have spread. This lets the doctors make more accurate treatment planning decisions, allowing for more precise and effective care.
For patients with head and neck cancers, PET/CT imaging can be especially helpful. Head and neck cancers tend to be challenging to treat with radiation, and PET/CT imaging helps improve treatment effectiveness while keeping side effects and complications to a minimum.
