What is PET-CT?:

Cancer is one of the major causes of death worldwide.

P E T-CT reveals metastatic disease other imaging techniques simply can’t detect.

P E T-CT helps to diagnose cancer and guides physicians to the most beneficial therapies.

New imaging technology merges PET and CT into one combined scanning system. The anatomical pictures produced by the CT scanner can be merged with the molecular images from PET. For instance, a tumor evident with CT can be confirmed as either malignant or benign with PET, and physicians can then use these fused images to target more effective therapies.

NYU Columbus Medical Institute of New York - PET-CT scan Biograph 16 - is the most sophisticated and powerful PET-CT System available today in the World.

Our PET-CT scan is the world's fastest integrated system. The whole body combined PET-CT scans can be acquired and viewed in only 7-15 minutes.

Our PET-CT scan is the the most accurate PET-CT scan available today in the World. Studies confirm an average of 98 percent accuracy in classifying lesions for PET-CT compared with 85 percent for PET and 70 percent for CT alone.

This ingenious scanning device makes it possible to see detailed anatomy and functional processes at the molecular level of internal organs and living tissue through a single noninvasive diagnostic procedure that takes just minutes.

In oncology:
PET-CT technology is a powerful tool in the detection, diagnosis and treatment planning of a wide range of cancer types.

Our PET-CT helps to:

• identify a malignancy earlier than other imaging technologies and pinpoint tumor location

• differentiate malignant and benign tumors and determine the presence, location and extent of the disease

• demonstrate response to therapy

In Cardiology:
On our PET-CT scan a beating heart can be captured and rendered in exquisite detail. Sixteen slices of imaging data are acquired and reconstructed with high precision, allowing doctor's to see heart vessel plaques or stenoses at normal or elevated heart rates.

In Neurology:
Our PET/CT scan can positively identify neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson's diseases, eliminating the need for redundant tests and diagnostic surgical procedures.
