🧠 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
Preparation: You’ll receive a small injection of a radiotracer (usually FDG – a glucose-based tracer).
Rest period: After the injection, you’ll rest quietly for 45–60 minutes while the tracer circulates.
Scanning: The PET-CT scanner takes high-resolution images that show how your cells absorb and use energy.
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.
