PET CT scan for Brain

 A brain PET Scan is a nuclear imaging technique used by doctors to see how your brain is functioning. This scan captures images of the activity of your brain after a glucose-tagged radioactive tracer has been absorbed into the bloodstream.

Glucose acts as fuel to the brain. Compared to the inactive areas, the active areas of the brain will be utilizing glucose at a higher rate. When detected by a PET scanner, these signals allow doctors to see how the brain is working and help them in finding any abnormalities.

PET Scan accurately tests for shape, size, and function of the brain and tracks down these conditions :

  • Dementia
  • Brain Cancer
  • Epilepsy and Other Seizure Disorders.
  • Mental Disorders
  • Parkinson’s and Other Movement Disorders.
  • Brain Stroke
