🧠 PET-CT SCAN IN TURKEY

Accurate Cancer Diagnosis and Staging for International Patients

The PET-CT scan (Positron Emission Tomography – Computed Tomography) is one of the most advanced imaging tools available today. It combines the power of metabolic and structural imaging to detect diseases — especially cancer — with exceptional precision.

At Medicine Park International, we help patients from Romania and all over the world access state-of-the-art PET-CT services in Turkey, ensuring fast scheduling, clear reporting, and complete medical travel support.

💡 What Is a PET-CT Scan?

A PET-CT scan combines two technologies:

  • PET (Positron Emission Tomography): shows how cells and tissues function.

  • CT (Computed Tomography): shows the anatomy and structure.

Together, they produce detailed images that reveal both what a tumor looks like and how it behaves, enabling early diagnosis and accurate treatment planning.

🎯 WHY IS PET-CT IMPORTANT IN CANCER DIAGNOSIS?

PET-CT plays a crucial role in oncology because it can:

  • Detect cancer before it becomes visible on other scans.

  • Determine whether a tumor is benign or malignant.

  • Identify metastases (spread of cancer) in any part of the body.

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

  • Monitor recurrence after treatment.

It’s also used in cardiology (to evaluate heart function) and neurology (for Alzheimer’s and epilepsy), but its main use is cancer imaging.

🔍 WHEN IS A PET-CT RECOMMENDED?

Your doctor may recommend a PET-CT if you:

  • Have been recently diagnosed with cancer

  • Need to check if the cancer has spread

  • Are planning or adjusting your treatment plan

  • Need to evaluate therapy response

  • Require a second opinion with advanced imaging

🧬 HOW THE PET-CT PROCEDURE WORKS

  1. Preparation: You’ll receive a small injection of a radiotracer (usually FDG – a glucose-based tracer).

  2. Rest period: After the injection, you’ll rest quietly for 45–60 minutes while the tracer circulates.

  3. Scanning: The PET-CT scanner takes high-resolution images that show how your cells absorb and use energy.

  4. Results: A nuclear medicine specialist interprets the scan and provides a detailed report.

The test is painless, non-invasive, and safe, with minimal radiation exposure.
