Nuclear Medicine & PET-CT
Advanced molecular imaging for accurate cancer diagnosis, staging, and treatment planning with exceptional precision.
Molecular Imaging Excellence
Precision Imaging
for Cancer Care
Nuclear Medicine at MIO Hospital provides state-of-the-art molecular imaging services, including PET-CT scanning, to detect, stage, and monitor cancer with exceptional precision. Unlike conventional imaging, nuclear medicine evaluates how tissues and organs function.
Nuclear Medicine uses small amounts of safe radioactive tracers to diagnose and evaluate cancer. These tracers highlight abnormal metabolic activity in the body, helping doctors identify tumors not visible through traditional imaging alone.
PET-CT Scan Services
PET-CT combines metabolic imaging (PET) with anatomical imaging (CT) to create a detailed and comprehensive scan — providing the most accurate picture of cancer activity in the body.
Common Uses
- ✓Initial cancer staging
- ✓Detecting metastasis
- ✓Evaluating unexplained masses
- ✓Monitoring chemotherapy response
- ✓Detecting cancer recurrence
Benefits of PET-CT
- ✓Highly sensitive detection of cancer spread
- ✓Whole-body imaging in a single scan
- ✓Helps avoid unnecessary surgeries
- ✓Guides radiation and chemotherapy planning
- ✓Assists in precision oncology decisions

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a PET-CT scan safe?
Yes. The amount of radioactive tracer used is minimal and safe under medical supervision. The dosage is carefully controlled to ensure patient safety.
How long does the scan take?
Typically 2–3 hours including preparation time. The actual scan duration is much shorter; the additional time accounts for tracer uptake and preparation.
Do I need special preparation for a PET-CT?
Fasting may be required before the scan. Detailed instructions will be provided in advance by our team to ensure accurate results.
