Increasing Demand for Accurate and Non-invasive Diagnostic Techniques

Diagnostic imaging has advanced significantly over the past few decades. Conventional imaging procedures like X-ray, CT, MRI, and ultrasound while useful have certain limitations. There was a need for diagnostic modalities which can better characterize tumors, detect abnormalities at molecular level with high sensitivity, and also be minimally invasive. This increasing demand led to the emergence and rapid adoption of PET-CT technology across healthcare facilities globally.

PET imaging using radioactive tracers overcomes limitations of anatomical imaging alone. It provides invaluable functional and molecular information about abnormal metabolic activity within the body. When combined with CT, it offers precise anatomical localization of functional abnormalities detected. This multi-parametric approach revolutionized disease diagnosis and management. PET-CT is found highly valuable not just for oncology but also for cardiology, neurology, and several other clinical applications.

With growing awareness, patients and healthcare providers increasingly prefer accurate, non-invasive procedures for evaluation and surveillance of diseases. Procedures requiring tissue biopsy are being avoided if comparable or better precision can be obtained non-invasively. PET-CT perfectly fits this need as it does not require the removal of any tissue samples. It captures whole-body functional and metabolic activity related pictures within a single session without any need for surgery. This has made it very attractive for repeat scans essential for treatment monitoring and response assessment.
