PET Scan
November 30th 2009
PET stands for Positron Emission Tomography. This type of scan can show how body tissues are working, as well as what they look like. They are usually only used after CT and MRI Scans to evaluate the progression or remission of complex disease and its pathology. They are not available at every hospital.
