Understanding PET-CT
Two perspectives.A clearer picture.
PET-CT brings together information about how tissues function and where changes are located. This combined view helps your doctor understand the findings in the context of your care.
PET: metabolic information
Shows how tissues are functioning by highlighting areas of increased metabolic or receptor activity.
CT: anatomical detail
Provides detailed images of the body’s structures, helping to show where changes are located.
Your doctor will advise whether PET-CT is appropriate for you.

Your Visit, Step by Step
Know what to expect. Feel more prepared.
What happens during a PET-CT visit.
- 01
Check-in & review
The team reviews your referral and relevant medical history.
- 02
Tracer & rest
A tracer is administered, followed by a resting period.
- 03
Your scan
You lie on the scanner table while images are acquired.
- 04
After your visit
The team explains the next steps and reporting process.
The exact process depends on your scan and clinical needs.
Before Your Visit
A little preparation.A smoother experience.
What to discuss with the team
Your referral & previous reports
Keep relevant records available.
Medicines & diabetes
Tell the team about your medicines and any diabetes care.

For Referring Clinicians
Referring a patient for PET-CT.
A short guide for referring doctors.
- 1
What to include
The clinical question, relevant history, histology or biochemistry where available, and previous imaging reports.
- 2
Choosing the tracer
FDG covers most oncology, neurological, cardiac and inflammatory indications. Receptor-targeted tracers (DOTATATE/DOTANOC, PSMA, FAPI, FES, FDOPA and others listed above) are used where the clinical question calls for them.
- 3
Reporting
Studies are reported by a nuclear medicine physician, and findings can be discussed with the referring team.
- 4
Discussing a case first
Call or write before referring if you would like to discuss suitability or the most appropriate study.

FAQs
A little claritybefore your scan.
Common questions about PET-CT.
Still have questions?Speak to our team for guidance before your visit.
PET-CT combines functional information from PET with anatomical detail from CT in one imaging study.
It may be requested to evaluate cancer, assess its extent, review treatment response, investigate suspected recurrence, or study the brain, heart, infection or inflammation. The reason depends on your clinical history.
Follow the instructions supplied for your specific scan. Tell the team about your medicines, diabetes, allergies and any possibility of pregnancy or breastfeeding before your visit.
Your referral and relevant previous scan reports. The team can tell you if anything else is needed when arranging your appointment.
Your referring doctor will usually discuss the findings with you. Contact the team about when your report will be available.
