PET-CT Scan Package

A PET-CT scan is an advanced imaging test that combines PET (Positron Emission Tomography), which shows how cells function, with CT (Computed Tomography), which reveals detailed body structure. Together, this powerful test provides doctors with a complete picture of both function and structure, helping detect diseases early, monitor treatment progress and guide accurate care.

At Medicover Hospitals, our Advanced PET-CT Scan Package ensures precise results with the highest standards of safety, affordability and patient comfort. From full body PET-CT scans for cancer detection to early diagnosis and specialized care for oncology patients and seniors, we deliver reliable results, compassionate support, and faster reports for confident health decisions.

Why Might Your Doctor Recommend a PET-CT Scan?

Sometimes, regular tests don't give enough answers. That's when a PET CT scan for cancer patients, heart conditions or brain disorders can make a real difference.

At Medicover Hospitals, doctors often recommend a PET-CT scan for these important reasons:

To Detect Diseases Early: Spot potential problems like cancer or infections before they become more serious.
To Check if Cancer Has Spread (Metastasis): Understand whether cancer has moved to other parts of your body.
To Monitor Treatment Progress: See how well your current treatment, like chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery, is working.
To Plan the Best Treatment: Give your care team accurate information to plan surgeries or radiation more effectively.
To Detect Recurrence: Check if a disease, especially cancer, has come back after treatment.
To Assess Brain and Heart Health: Helpful in diagnosing conditions like Alzheimer's, epilepsy, or heart damage.

In simple terms: a PET-CT scan helps you and your doctor see the full picture, so you get answers faster, care that's tailored to you and the confidence to move forward.

How Does a PET-CT Scan Proceed?

At Medicover Hospitals, we want you to feel relaxed, informed and cared for during every step of your PET CT scan for a full body health check. Here's what you can expect:

Warm Welcome & Registration: Our friendly staff will greet you, confirm your appointment and assist you with any paperwork. We’ll make sure you feel comfortable and answer any questions before the scan begins.
Injection of Tracer: You'll receive a very small injection of a safe, radioactive tracer. This tracer travels through your body and highlights areas of unusual activity, making it easier for your doctor to see what’s happening inside.
Quiet Resting Time (30-60 Minutes): After the injection, you’ll rest in a calm environment while the tracer spreads. This is a quiet, stress-free time where you just need to sit back and relax.
The Scan Itself: You'll lie comfortably on a cushioned table. The PET CT scan is painless, non-invasive and usually takes 30-60 minutes. Our team supports you throughout.

From start to finish, we make sure your PET-CT scan experience is smooth, safe, and stress-free.

Here's a short and simplified version of the PET-CT scan test details:

Category	Purpose & What It Detects
PET-CT Scan (General)	Detects abnormal tissues, stages cancer, monitors treatment, checks organ function, and shows active disease, inflammation, or treatment progress.
Oncology (Cancer)	Identifies tumors and checks cancer spread by showing uptake in lymph nodes, organs, or bones.
Cardiology (Heart)	Evaluates heart function and finds damaged areas by detecting poor blood flow or injured tissue.
Neurology (Brain)	Detects Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, and brain tumors through irregular tracer activity in brain regions.
Treatment Monitoring	Assesses if treatment is working by checking if uptake has decreased or remained unchanged.
Post-Treatment Check	Detects possible disease recurrence by finding new areas with high uptake.

After the PET-CT Scan: What You Should Know

Once your PET-CT scan is complete, you can usually go home right away. Here’s what to expect after your scan:

Resume Normal Activities: Most patients can return to daily routines right away. If sedation was given (rare), arrange for someone to drive you home.
Drink Plenty of Water: It helps your body flush out the tracer naturally.
Temporary Precautions: Avoid close contact for a few hours with pregnant women and young children.
Possible Minor Effects: Slight redness at the injection site or mild tiredness; these usually pass quickly.
Getting Results: Report is ready in 24-48 hours; your doctor will explain the findings and guide you on the next steps.
