A PET-CT scanner is used to detect the radioactive tracer in the body to assess how well organs and tissues are working. The radioactive tracer leaves the body naturally.

As one of the UK's leading experts in the provision of PET-CT solutions, we are experienced in providing patients with accessible, modern and efficient scans when and where they are needed, linking results and reports to the relevant cancer network.

A PET-CT (Positron Emission Tomography Computed Tomography) scan combines a CT scan and a PET scan into one scan. The scan uses X-ray technology together with a radioactive tracer to produce a detailed three-dimensional picture of the internal anatomy and function.

Certain organs and tissues absorb the radioactive tracer which are "attached" to compounds, such as glucose.
