PET/CT
Doylestown Health, in conjunction with MIT (Molecular Imaging Technologies) PET, operates a full-time, fixed 16-slice PET/CT scanner. This state-of-the-art equipment allows physicians to more effectively diagnose, stage, and monitor therapy for a variety of cancers and to diagnose multiple neurologic and cardiac diseases.
Using PET/CT to Detect Cancers Earlier
PET/CT interpretations are performed by Doylestown Health's board-certified radiologists. The PET/CT has the ability to combine the anatomic strength of CT with the physiologic changes detected by PET. This can lead to earlier detection of cancers. PET/CT is the most sensitive tool available. Combining two imaging technologies, PET/CT allows oncologists to precisely pinpoint sites of cancer within the body. When this information is used in radiation therapy treatment planning, it enables the sparing of normal tissue.
