PET/CT stands for the combination of
Positron Emission Tomography/ Computerized
Tomography into a single, non-invasive test that
shows the chemical functioning and behavior of
organs and tissues.
PET is a nuclear imaging test that
uses special cameras and radioactive drugs to
produce pictures of the function and metabolism of
the cells in the body, while CT is an x-ray that
generates a detailed view of the anatomy or
structure of organs and tissues in the body.
