Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) is a nuclear medicine procedure used to evaluate how organ systems of the body function and to identify and distinguish between both primary and metastatic cancer, heart diseases, and brain disorders. Positron emission tomography (PET) uses small amounts of radioactive materials called radiotracers, a special camera, and a computer to help evaluate organ and tissue functions. This type of medical procedure is highly sensitive imaging and detects diseases at early stage. The equipment is used for diagnose various types of cancers, such as colorectal cancers and lymphomas, as well as some neurological and cardiac conditions.
