Discover the Power of PET-CT FDG Whole Body Scan : Scan4health Gurgaon

 When it comes to comprehensive cancer detection and metabolic assessment, nothing matches the precision of a PET-CT FDG Whole Body scan in Gurgaon . At Scan4Health, Gurgaon, we harness the latest hybrid imaging technology to provide clinicians with actionable insights—helping patients on their journey to early diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring.


What Is a PET-CT FDG Whole Body Scan?

A PET-CT (Positron Emission Tomography–Computed Tomography) FDG Whole Body scan combines two advanced imaging modalities into a single session:

  • PET uses a radioactive tracer (Fluorodeoxyglucose, or FDG) to map metabolic activity.

  • CT provides high-resolution anatomical detail.

Together, they produce fused images that pinpoint areas of abnormal glucose uptake—often the earliest sign of cancerous growth or inflammatory processes.


Key Clinical Applications

  • Oncology

    • Detection & Staging: Identify primary tumors and distant metastases

    • Treatment Planning: Guide surgical, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy strategies

    • Response Monitoring: Assess how well tumors respond to therapy

    • Recurrence Surveillance: Early detection of relapse

  • Neurology & Cardiology

    • Brain Metabolism: Evaluate epilepsy, dementia, and tumors

    • Cardiac Viability: Determine areas of viable heart muscle post-infarction
