What is it
PET CT
A PET CT (Positron Emission Tomography Computed Tomography) is a medical imaging test that generates real-time images of the body’s organs and tissues in action. It employs a safe radioactive substance, known as a radiotracer, and a PET scanner to detect abnormal cells with high radiotracer uptake, aiding in the diagnosis of cancer, evaluation of cancer treatments, and examination of specific heart and brain conditions.
Our PET CT Offering
FDG
Uses a radiotracer called fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), which is a radioactive form of glucose. This is particularly useful in identifying cancerous tumors, as cancer cells typically have higher metabolic rates and, therefore, absorb more FDG compared to normal cells.
PSMA
Uses a radiotracer targeting Prostate-specific membrane antigen to detect and visualize prostate cancer cells with high precision, aiding in the diagnosis, staging, and monitoring of prostate cancer.
Dotatate
Uses a radiotracer targeting somatostatin receptors to detect and visualize neuroendocrine tumors (NET) and certain other conditions in the body, providing valuable diagnostic and treatment information.
Amyloid PET Brain Imaging
Employs a radiotracer to identify and visualize the accumulation of beta-amyloid plaques in the brain, aiding in the assessment and diagnosis of conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.
Cerriana
Currently the only imaging agent that can be used to detect whole body ER+ lesion Status
Confident.
Concise.
Caring.
Cardiac PET
Stress/ Rest Perfussion Flyrcado F18 or Ammonia N13
Cardiac imaging test that employs a radioactive tracer called Flycado F18 or Ammonia N13 to assess blood flow and detect potential areas of reduced perfusion in the heart, aiding in the evaluation of coronary artery disease.
FDG Viability
Uses a radiotracer called FDG to assess the metabolic activity of heart tissues, helping determine if certain regions of the heart are viable or non-viable, typically used in the evaluation of heart disease and planning treatment.
Coming Soon!
Our team is currently evaluating radiotracers shown to identify tauopathy of the brain, Glioblastomas, and Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma. We are excited to introduce these to the market as soon as we have an established Fee Schedule.
Our Tech
Precision's Scanners Lead the Way in Our Region
Precision has two 64-slice PET/CT combination scanners leading the way in our region.
Precision deployed SubtlePET™ software to enhance the image quality on their PET exams. The clinical team was able to reduce the patient’s dose by approximately 15% and shorten the total scan time by nearly 40% without sacrificing image quality.
This results in a far better patient experience and improves overall quality by decreasing inherent patient motion.
