PET/CT Scan
Positron Emission Tomography and Computer Tomography scans, or PET/CT scans, is an advanced nuclear imaging technique that helps to reveal information about cells and tissues in the body. PET/CT is used 98% of the time to help diagnose, stage or restage disease in cancer patients.
Benefits
- Improved imaging accuracy
- Lower dose of radiation
- Highest resolution available
- Increased patient comfort and convenience
- Average PET scan takes 30 minutes; this new technology reduces time to less than 10 minutes
- CT scan shows detailed pictures of tissues and organs, while PET shows abnormal cell activity
Linear Accelerator
A linear accelerator (LINAC) machine is the backbone of modern radiation therapy, including stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). This breakthrough technology delivers powerful, targeted radiation for specific cancers, allowing patients to receive effective care in typically one to five sessions. Conventional radiation usually requires weeks of treatment.
Benefits
LINAC targets small tumors with powerful doses of radiation, while protecting healthy tissue. Benefits of LINAC include:
- Fewer treatment sessions
- Noninvasive option, replacing surgery for certain cancers
- Minimal damage to healthy tissue
- Shorter recovery time
- Improved accuracy
