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.
